Hello PHP i18n community,

I built Pterocos - a free online editor that runs PHP code entirely in your
browser via WebAssembly. No installation, no account required.

=F0=9F=94=97 Live: https://pterocos.eu.org
=F0=9F=93=A6 GitHub: https://github.com/aminkheddache-dotcom/Pterocos

**Why this might be useful for i18n/l10n work:**

- Quickly test gettext, setlocale(), and locale handling without local setu=
p
- Prototype multi-language applications on any device
- Create shareable examples of i18n bugs or solutions
- Perfect for demonstrating locale-specific formatting issues
- No need to configure PHP's locale extensions locally

**What Pterocos supports:**
- PHP =F0=9F=90=98
- C# (.NET)
- Rust =F0=9F=A6=80
- Python =F0=9F=90=8D
- Ruby =F0=9F=92=8E
- SQL (SQLite and DuckDB)
- Lua

The editor runs entirely client-side - your code never leaves your browser.
All data stays local. No tracking, no ads.

**Example i18n use case:**
Create a permanent link demonstrating a specific locale formatting issue,
then share it with other developers or in documentation.

Try it: https://pterocos.eu.org

Would love feedback from the i18n community!

Best regards,
AmineKHD
