Poedit

Poedit is a desktop editor for translation files in formats such as PO, XLIFF, JSON, Qt and Flutter. It provides a graphical interface that lets users view source strings, edit translations, and manage language catalogs, with built‑in safety checks and gettext support. The tool can import and export the various file types, track changes in the source code, and integrate with cloud localization services like Crowdin and Localazy for collaborative workflows.

The application targets translators and developers who need to localize software, websites, WordPress themes and plugins, and other projects that rely on gettext or similar formats. It offers features such as pre‑translation using machine‑translation engines, intelligent suggestions, and quick navigation between strings, aiming to reduce manual effort and improve consistency across large string sets.

Poedit is available for macOS and is classified as stable. It is distributed with a free version and an optional Pro edition that adds advanced automation and AI‑powered suggestions, and it is used by a community of over one hundred thousand translators and developers.
