That process is called Internationalisation . Localising means adding our
local features to an already internationalised app .
So first you have to see if the app is already internationalised .
If it is internationalised you could get the PO file .. download them
translate and give back to internationaliser who in turn compiles and keeps
the Mo file in appropriate location.

In your case if you are both internationalising and localising your
application . Please have a look at PHP internationalisation page
http://php.net/manual/en/book.i18n.php

It is a new feature in PHP from 5.3 will be natively supported from version
6
