Sorry for the late answer. This is the first bug ever and I didn't checked it regularily because I didn't expected anything to be there. Here's what I think is wrong:

Probably a module is missing in your php installation.

You need to have gettext-Support enabled.

You can find out, if this is installed at your server by looking at the phpinfo page. To do that, just put a php with the following contents into your website's directory:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

There should be a section with title "gettext" and an entry, which should show this is enabled. If not, you have to install php with gettext support.

"There should be a section with title "gettext" and an entry, which should
show this is enabled. If not, you have to install php with gettext
support."

So you have to install gettext support. If you are using a binary linux distribution for example there may be a "php-gettext" package or something similar you may need to add. If you compiled php for your self, you have to set the correct flag while invoking ./configure

If you have no influence on your php-installation (i.e. you are hosting your site on a server you have no control of) you may ask your provider to upgrade, or try this workaround:

If you only want to use en locales, you could comment out every function using gettext. That would be: setlocale(), bindtextdomain() and textdomain() in functions/(admin)/init_session.php to prevent the error message.
