 * Hi all,
 * Im currently trying to change default language to swedish, using wordpress 15.3.1.
   I compiled a sv_SE.mo file (UTF-8)using poEdit 1.3.2 for linux-GTK and uploaded
   it to wp-includes/languages/sv_SE.mo. I changed define (‘WPLANG’, ‘sv_SE’) in
   wp-config.php and reloaded my blog and now Im getting Fatal error: Only variables
   can be passed by reference in /home/blog/wp-includes/gettext.php on line 66.
 * Using: php 5.1beta3, apache 2.0.48, mysql 4.1, wordpress 1.5.1.3, using default
   theme.
 * anyone here got a clue?

 * PHP5 issue…
 * I degraded my PHP install from 5.1 to 4.4 and everything works fine. Anyone tried
   PHP5.x and localization of wordpress?
