Re^2: Locale::Maketext::Lexicon and plural forms

These modules have their own problems unfortunately. They require to set LC_MESSAGES which mean that error messages in web-server error log also will be localised and I certainly don't want that. ~~Also it looks like I can set LC_MESSAGES only once per process, and I need to be able to use different locales for every request.~~ No, the last statement is actually wrong.

Are you sure that there won't be problems with using the process locale in a web server setting? For example, if users A and B are being served by the same Apache process, A is an English user and B is a Russian user, and B's request changes the process' locale before A's request finishes; isn't it possible that A would then get a page back in the wrong language? I know this is a problem in PHP ( http://php.net/manual/en/function.setlocale.php ), and I know that POSIX 2008 implemented a workaround via uselocale ( http://www.manpagez.com/man/3/uselocale/ ).

I'm sure that there will be problems. That's exactly the reason why I prefer Locale::Maketext to various wrappers around gettext.	[reply]
