PHP gettext caching workaround
Gettext is probably the most flexible, the most convenient, and the fastest way to handle I18N in PHP applications (and not only PHP of course).
However, when you have PHP installed as an Apache module (mod_php), PHP's gettext extension translation files are cached, so updates are not instantly visible. Unfortunately, there are no configuration directives to control caching time and practically the only way to clear the cache is to restart the web server. Obviously it can be a serious issue, especially on shared hosts, where you rarely have control over the server.
