I know there's a bunch of posts out there about the same problem, but I really can't figure it out.
Running XAMPP on OS X, with PHP 7.3.23
PHP snipet :
<?php
$language = "fr_CA";
putenv("LANGUAGE=".$language);
//if(!defined('LC_ALL')) putenv('LC_ALL=' . $language);
$setlocale = setlocale(LC_ALL, $language);
$domain = "textdomain";
$bindtextdomain = bindtextdomain($domain, realpath(dirname(__FILE__)."/locale"));
$textdomain = textdomain($domain);
bind_textdomain_codeset($domain, 'UTF-8');
var_dump($setlocale); // Returns : string(5) "fr_CA"
var_dump($bindtextdomain); // Returns : string(57) "/ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_WEBSITE/locale"
var_dump($textdomain); // Returns : my textdomain
echo _("Ceci est un test"); // Returns : the same (instead of "TEST REUSSI")

#: _test.php:7 _test_locale.php:18
msgid "Ceci est un test"
msgstr "TEST REUSSI"
Folder structure is like this :
locale/fr_CA/LC_MESSAGES/textdomain.po and .mo
The locale exists (if I look up locale -a), tried to restart Apache also. I'm out of ideas.
My Answer:
php
// Set language to English
putenv('LC_ALL=en_US');
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'en_US');
// Specify the location of the translation files
bindtextdomain('messages', 'path/to/your/translations');
textdomain('messages');
// Gettext example
echo gettext('Hello, world!');
?>
