If using standard strings, gettext correctly uses translated string.
If using formatted strings (those that can be used for printf, like "my name is %s and I'm %d years old"), it leaves string in original language.

Short example:

--- from test.php ---
print (_("how are you?"));
print "<br>";
printf (_("and now, when asking %d nd time?"), 2);

--- from i18n.po ---
#: test.php:6
msgid "how are you?"
msgstr "kak si kaj?"

#: test.php:8
#, c-format
msgid "and now, when asking %d nd time?"
msgstr "in sedaj, ko sprasujem %d .?"


--- output from this script ---
kak si kaj?
and now, when asking 2 nd time?

I'm using PHP4.2.3 as apache1.3.26 module on WinXP.

just a typical hack question... 

does
$string = _("my string goes here %s");
printf("$string", 2);

or something simliar to that work?

I just rerun my test stript - after restarting system (which is not something I would do regularly) - and it works.

Looks like Windows kept non-working gettext/libintl dll's from 4.2.2 in memory and prevented new libs to work correctly. I don't know. 

So, this is NOT a PHP bug, it is just one of Windows quirks happened because of PHP upgrade. Now, after first reboot, everyhing works as it should.
