Poedit provides translators and developers with a powerful and intuitive editor for gettext. It helps save time on mundane translation tasks with a lightweight and easy-to-use interface and smart features like pre-translation and machine translation.
FOCUS ON WHAT YOU DO BEST
Stop worrying. Poedit will validate your translation files and track your progress.
- Automatic detection of potential translation issues (incorrect plural forms, missing tokens, etc)
- Automatic syntax checks (missing or mistyped variables, etc)
- View detailed statistics about your translations
- Poedit’s word count is language-aware, conforms to the latest Unicode Standard and has built-in, dictionary-based support for text in languages such as Chinese, Japanese or Thai.
Extract strings from source code. Tweak custom keywords, settings or extractors.
How translation of strings from code works
- The developer writes their code using gettext APIs.
- The developer extracts all translatable texts in their code and creates a master PO file that translators can work with.
- The translator works through the PO file provided and hands back their translations, one file per language.
- Whenever the source code changes and there are translation differences the developer re-runs the extraction and updates the master PO file accordingly.
- The translator only has to update their translation file to match the master file 100%.

Translate themes and plugins
Poedit Pro carefully analyses the structure of themes and plugins, then creates a PO file in the right place and fills it with original strings, ready to be translated.
