Problem with localization

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: https://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 – https://www.bluehostforum.com/showthread.php?t=259 but I’m still stuck with the English.
Anybody to have another solution?

Thanks,
Mikhail

For me – finally this did the trick

I did this -> https://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/wp-trac/2007-June/012844.html

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.
