About
This program is a simple translation editor for gettext (PO files), XLIFF, Qt,
JSON and more. It also serves as a GUI frontend to more GNU gettext utilities
(win32 version is part of the distribution) and catalogs editor/source code
parser. It helps with translating applications into another language. For
details on principles of the solution used, see GNU gettext documentation.
Installation
Easily-installable prebuilt binaries for Windows and macOS are available from
https://poedit.com/download/
Official binaries for Linux are available as a Snap at https://snapcraft.io/poedit.
Most Linux distributions also include native Poedit packages.
Installing from sources
Requirements:
- Boost
- Unicode build of wxWidgets library, version >= 3.2
- ICU
- LucenePlusPlus
- If on Unix, GtkSpell for spell checking support
Optional dependencies:
- cld2 (better language autodetection and non-English source languages)
- C++REST SDK >= 2.5 (Crowdin integration)
Unix
Do the usual thing:
./configure
make
make install
You must have the dependencies installed in a location where configure will find
them, e.g. by setting CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS appropriately.
macOS
You need a full git checkout to build on macOS; see below for details.
After checkout, use the Poedit.xcworkspace workspace and the latest version of
Xcode to build Poedit.
Windows using Visual Studio
You need a full git checkout to build on Windows; see below for details. Note that the repository uses
symlinks and so you’ll need to enabled Developer Mode and configure git to allow symlinks:
git config --global core.symlinks true
After checkout, use the Poedit.slnx solution to build everything. To build the installer, open win32/poedit.iss in Inno Setup and compile the project.
Installing from Git repository
Get the sources from GitHub (https://github.com/vslavik/poedit):
git clone https://github.com/vslavik/poedit.git
If you are on Windows or OSX, you’ll need all the dependencies too. After
cloning the repository, run the following command:
git submodule update --init --recursive
On Linux and other Unices, only a subset of submodules is necessary, so you can
save some time and disk space by checking out only them:
git submodule update --init deps/json deps/pugixml
When building for Unix/Linux, if you get the sources directly from the Git
repository, some generated files are not present. You have to run the
./bootstrap script to create them. After that, continue according to the
instructions above.
The ./bootstrap script requires some additional tools to be installed,
namely gettext tools to create .mo files.
On macOS and Windows, bootstrapping is not needed.
License
Poedit is released under the MIT license and you’re free to do
whatever you want with it and its source code (well, almost :-) – see the
