Translating issue: Gettext works, IMP does not

[Mike Coughlan]

Regarding the failed German translations on:
IMP 2.3.7
apache-ssl     1.3.19.1+1.42-
Debian Potato running under "testing"

I can get gettext to translate IMP messages on the command line, but it
still fails off the webserver in IMP.  I sent this email to the gettext
maintainer at Debian in hopes that it is an apache env. issue.

For the knowledge base, Debian does not enable languages by default - see
/etc/locale.gen for more info -  although that should not matter to HORDE.

Thank all
