What good alternatives to poEdit are there? [close

问题:

I'm looking for a .po/.mo editor. I am using gettext for the translation files but don't really like poEdit. It has to run on Windows Vista and it would be even better if it was built into Visual Studio 2008 so I could develop and translate

I really want something that helps me translate and makes translation easier. I want to have suggestions and a spell check

[No option? If there really are no options I might aswell do something about it and code something so translating is easy again. You could even integrate http://dict.leo.org or see what Google Translate has to offer for the Query. ]

回答1:

GTed is an interesting alternative for PoEdit.

Since it is an Eclipse plugin, it suppose first the installation of eclipse: it is not a stand-alone application. But still, it can do the job.

Here are some good alternatives to Poedit:

Translation editors

• Lokalize: for KDE users (KBabel is now obsolete).
• GTranslator: for GNOME users.
• GTed: runs everywhere Eclipse runs.
• Virtaal: Windows, Linux, Mac. Good choice for GNOME users.

Text editor

• Vim: you can use the Vim script for po files Editing
• Emacs: you can use po mode to do your editing.

Other notes

There's a php application that would be useful for collaborative editing. Actually synchronizing with a subversion system would solve the problem anyways with any of these tools. However, if anyone does remember more applications, feel free to add.

回答3:

Take a look at poeditor.com. Looks nice and does what we need in terms of collaboration.

回答4:

Just for reference: Google Translator Toolkit allows translation of po-Files since 2012. I never really used it though.

回答5:

I'd suggest Virtaal which is cross-platform and very simple to setup and use yet very powerful.

回答6:

I've been working with Transifex for a while. It's not really a good editor as such, but a collaborative platform for translations. They have reasonable editing facilities online. It also allows you to pull translations down to work with them locally, so I'd also love to see a good editor.

回答7:

On Windows you might consider using Bettter PO Editor or gorm.

回答8:

LocFactory is another alternative - sorry, it's OSX only, but it might be useful to others reading this post.

Unfortunately I've found poEdit to be the best of a pretty bad bunch. I'd love to find a replacement.
