Translation files PO/MO cached by Apache

Question

I'm using PO/MO files for gettext PHP 7 extensions. I found that many times I update the PO/MO files but the web page transations is not updates and I have to restart Apache!

Is there any way to avoid Apache restart and force file reload?

There is an existing answer for this problem of cache when using gettext for i18n internationalization.

The solution linked above will flush the cache after every requests, but as @xiaoyi said, this solution is not something you should use in production environment.

As far as I am concerned, I already used gettext but I didn't remember any problem of apache caching. I was using POEdit for editing & compile PO/MO files.

EDIT : I guess that using php-fpm causes this problem because I wasn't using php-fpm and wasn't concerned about this issue.

Good luck
