Here's what I use to set my language (to French in this case). It works
100% of the time for me:

// Set locale to preferred language
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'fr_FR');
bindtextdomain('messages', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/locale');
textdomain('messages');

I don't do the "putenv" line that you have, so I'm not sure if it's
necessary...
