Hi Pete,

Thank you for your interest in ensuring Trixie will contain all relevant 
and useful packages.

Can you please elaborate? Are you actually using the php-php-gettext 
binary package, that provides a Gettext emulation in PHP, and hasn’t 
seen any activity [upstream] for more than ten years? Maybe are you 
rather referring to the proper gettext functions, that are provided by 
the gettext module, shipped by the php8.4-common package and I think is 
enabled by default.

	upstream: https://launchpad.net/php-gettext
	gettext: https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.gettext.php

This bug report is about the php-gettext source package, used to build 
the php-php-gettext binary package. It provides some classes written in 
PHP to workaround the lack of proper gettext support. It dates from a 
time when the gettext module may have not been available by default, and 
I don’t believe such code is actually useful today when one can use the 
way more efficient gettext module.
