Answer 1

this works for me my file is named messages.mo

static function initialize_i18n() {
    $locale=App::$locale;        
    $locales_root = App::$root."locale";
    putenv('LANG='.$locale);
    putenv('LANGUAGE='.$locale);
    putenv('LC_ALL='.$locale);    
    putenv('LC_MESSAGES='.$locale); 
    setlocale(LC_ALL, $locale.".utf-8");   
    $domains = glob($locales_root.'/'.$locale.'/LC_MESSAGES/messages-*.mo');
    $current = basename($domains[0],'.mo');
    $timestamp = preg_replace('{messages-}i','',$current);
    bindtextdomain("messages",$locales_root);
    textdomain("messages");
}
