Can you please elaborate? Are you actually using the php-php-gettext
binary package, that provides a Gettext emulation in PHP, and hasn’t
seen any activity [upstream] for more than ten years? Maybe are you
rather referring to the proper gettext functions, that are provided by
the gettext module, shipped by the php8.4-common package and I think is
enabled by default.

This bug report is about the php-gettext source package, used to build
the php-php-gettext binary package. It provides some classes written in
PHP to workaround the lack of proper gettext support. It dates from a
time when the gettext module may have not been available by default, and
I don’t believe such code is actually useful today when one can use the
way more efficient gettext module.
