I'm just an ignorant lurker, but different foreign languages have different
rules. I don't think a single scheme will work even for all European
languages, let alone Chinese (about which I know nothing) or Thai (about
which I know less). This was discussed in the context of MySQL sorting
Hungarian, and the response was that Hungarian has two distinct collating
sequences.

You need system locales present on server in order to get working
gettext translation.
You must restart apache, if you change translation and recompile .mo files.
You don't have to change system locale on server. Locale can be set in
php scripts with setlocale() and putenv().
If you don't control system locales installed on server, there are
php-gettext classes on savanah.gnu.org.
