 * I am experiencing problems with the localization of WordPress.
 * My Setup is : Php 5.2.1 with gettext module enabled.
    wp-config is configured
   and .mo file resides in languages directory. However still WordPress doesn’t 
   load the Turkish language..
 * I am not getting errors or whatso ever.
 * Did or does anybody have had the same problem?

 * Yes it is a bug in php 5.0. Was corrected be entry in gettext.php file (wp-includes).
   Thisc correction does not work with php 5.2.1
 * You need to edit **gettext.php** file
 * Find entry:
 *     ```
       if ($magic == ($MAGIC1 & 0xFFFFFFFF)) { // to make sure it works for 64-bit platforms
       $this->BYTEORDER = 0;
       } elseif ($magic == ($MAGIC2 & 0xFFFFFFFF)) {
       ```
   
 * Replace by:
 *     ```
       if ($magic == $MAGIC1) {
       $this->BYTEORDER = 0;
       } elseif ($magic == $MAGIC2) {
       ```
   
 * The solution was described there: [http://wordpress.dk/forum/topic/19](http://wordpress.dk/forum/topic/19)
 * It is working for me. WordPress 2.1.3 php 5.2.1

 * I have the same problem, I used to have Bulgarian localization running, but it
   disappeared last week. At the moment I’m with PHP 5.2.3, don’t know if was upgraded
   by the host.
    I did the recommended here, but it didn’t help. Also did this –

   but I’m still stuck with the English. Anybody to have another solution?
 * Thanks,
    Mikhail

 * It’s worked for localization but this time, post edit page not showing. I can
   see right side but post editor part is not shown.
 * Any idea?

 * It turns out it’s about the php.ini problem.
 * If you face the same problem after the server upgrade, you must tell your hosting
   about updating php.ini according to old configrations.
