How To Run Gettext

[EdInJapan]

I am running a script (Menalto Gallery) that uses gettext files for providing different languages. For the particular language I am using, I needed to re-encode the language files to UTF-8 in order to be compatible with the Dragonfly CMS I am using. I did that for the .po files that I need.

 

Now, I understand I need to run the .po files through "gettext" in order to get the .mo files that I believe the script is using. I have looked up gettext on several sites, but still don't quite understand how I would "run" it on my TCH hosted site. I suspect I need to upload the .po files and then write a small php script to kick gettext into action, but am not sure what this should look like.

 

If anyone has a snippet they have used, I would appreciate it.
