I just started using gettext for php yesterday.

I created a .po file locally using poedit. (ubunt 12.04 64bit). I put this file and the compiled .mo file under version control because I plan on deploying to the production version of the site, which runs on rackspace cloud sites.

My question is:

Is .mo file platform dependent? Will it work on any server? If not how is this usually handled? The issue is there is no shell access to cloudsites so if I need to recompile it or something it will be a pain.

Thank you for your time.

    Yes, you can redistribute mo files among servers. The mo files are actually read by the apache webserver, and not by PHP.

    Be aware however, that if your mo uses a locale that is not installed on the underlying os, your mo files will not work.
