Poedit is the best translations editor for translating apps and sites.
Write translations for any software or web site that uses Gettext for localization. Gettext is used widely, in many programming languages and many projects – from WordPress to many PHP projects, Django or pretty much anything on Linux.
Poedit is intentionally spartan so that the focus is on the translation you’re working on. Just you and the translation, no distractions.
Here are some key features of 'Poedit':
- Simple & Efficient Interface:
Poedit is intentionally spartan so that the focus is on the translation you’re working on. Just you and the translation, no distractions.
- Safety Checks:Gettext can be tricky at times. One accidentally added % may break things if you’re unlucky. Not to worry, though, Poedit checks for common problems and warns you.
- Translation Memory:
Poedit comes with a builtin translation memory to help you translate faster. It remembers your past translations and uses them to make suggestions for similar texts. Over time, it learns enough to fill in frequently used strings for you.
- For Developers Too:
Developers can use Poedit to maintain their translation files (or templates) and keep them fresh. It may be too simple for more complicated projects, but most of the time, that simplicity comes handy.
- Dedicated WordPress Support:
Poedit has dedicated support for WordPress themes and plugins, allowing you to focus on the translation instead of worrying about the technical details.
- Safety Checks:

d) An e-mail will arrive (in a few minutes or up to one hour) with the address of the PO file that contains the strings used in BitComet's interface.
3) Open the downloaded PO file in Poedit and translate the non-translated strings (and also verify the fuzzy strings, if they are correctly translated).
4) The translation may be verified by copying the bitcomet-xx.mo file in the “lang” subfolder of BitComet, and switching to that language with Tools>Language, from inside the software. After verification, the PO file can be uploaded to Launchpad.
5) Go to the Launchpad page that contains the translated language, and upload the PO file:
a) Click the “Upload a file” button (near the leaderboard).
b) Browse to the local BitComet PO file and then click “Upload”.
The translation will be loaded inside Launchpad and will be included, automatically, in the next version of BitComet.
