title: How to create .po files using xgettext on Windows?
body: <p>I'm following this tutorial about building a multilingual web sites using PHP gettext <a href="http://onlamp.com/pub/a/php/2002/06/13/php.html" rel="noreferrer">http://onlamp.com/pub/a/php/2002/06/13/php.html</a></p>
  
  <p>I understand the tutorial until this part:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>After you have the directories all
    prepared, it's time to create the
    actual "pot" file, as it is usually
    referred to: the messages.po  file. To
    do this, you will need to have PHP
    files that use the gettext()  function
    to "mark" strings to be translated and
    use the xgettext  command.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <pre><code>$ xgettext -n *.php
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Do I have to write that in the command line?
  In which folder do I have to be when I execute that command?
  Is that the Linux version of the command or for Windows?</p>
  
  <p>(I enabled the gettext extension in my wamp ini file)
  Do I have to download gettext utilites from the GNU web page in order to create .po files?</p>
