[Cartoweb-users] Gettext command msgfmt or msgcat was not found

[oliver.christen]

you downloaded the gettext setup file?
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gnuwin32/gettext-0.14.4.exe?download

once you have, double clic on it to install it on window

Then, set the path to the Gettext binary in your PATH environment variable. 
( control panel > system > Advanced > Environment Variables). If there is no 
PATH variable, add a new one. If a PATH variable is already present, you can 
add the path to gettext at the end of the existing path values, but add a 
";" inbetween: path1;path2;path3): )
C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin;The example above is true if the Gettext 
binaries are installed in C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin.

All this is explained in cartoweb documentation:
