}
echo "<br>";
$language = Locale::acceptFromHttp($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']);
echo "Locale Language::".$language;
echo "<br>";
putenv("LANG=". $language);
setlocale(LC_ALL, $language);

// set the text domain as "messages"
$domain = "messages";

$language = Locale::acceptFromHttp($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']);

Will give you a locale string such as de_DE - however Windows won't accept that string, it would need to be something like deu_deu

You can test this with:

echo setlocale(LC_ALL, $language) ? "true" : "false";

There are two ways around this:

1) use setlocale(LC_ALL, 'deu_deu'); which may upset the live site

2) add putenv('LC_ALL=' . $language);

In a nutshell - when you strip your code right back, this should work on Windows:

$language = Locale::acceptFromHttp($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']);

putenv('LANG=' . $language);
if(!defined('LC_ALL')) putenv('LC_ALL=' . $language);
setlocale(LC_ALL, $language);

$domain = 'messages';
$pathToDomain = 'C:\xampp\htdocs\Test_project\Locale';

bindtextdomain($domain, $pathToDomain);
bind_textdomain_codeset($domain, 'UTF-8');
textdomain($domain);

echo _("This is moon");
