Poedit
Price: $
Poedit is a free, cross-platform language translation tool that offers easy translation of apps and sites in supported formats. The main ingredient is gettext, which is a set of localization libraries and tools used by projects. It is built into many projects, including PHP, WordPress, Python, and Linux. If you need to translate an app or site into another language, Poedit will be one of your best solutions.
Premium tool at a price
Poedit uses AI and machine learning to streamline translations and boost productivity.
A free version is available, while Pro, Pro+, and Teams plans unlock advanced features like deep learning and collaborative tools.
Note: Pricing varies by plan, region, and team size.
Powerful set of features
Poedit is a powerful tool that comes with tons of useful features for translators and hobbyists.
To cut it short, it will help you save valuable time by providing suggestions (real-time) for your work. The recommendations are either created from your history or if you are using the Pro versions, then they are fetched from shared online translation databases.
There is another handy feature that you can use to translate complete files using Poedit and then make any necessary changes if needed. This helps in saving critical time and letting the tool do the work for you. It will also store your pattern of making changes so it can make similar suggestions in the future.
In the Pro version, you can check out all your statistics, such as the number of characters, words, and lines. This is a fantastic feature that helps you put the right price on your work.
Translate WordPress content seamlessly
Whether you have any previous experience or not, you can translate themes and plugins from WP without much difficulty. This is a deal-breaker, or should we say a deal-maker. Even if you have no expertise in PO files or WordPress, you can let Poedit do the job and translate any themes and plugins for you.
Our take
There are not many translation tools out there that work as well as Poedit does. For translation professionals, it is a must-have as it saves critical time, helps you translate required sites/apps into PO files, and uses AI + ML to help you get more efficient in the process. The free version is more than sufficient to get started, and you can always move to the premium offerings if needed.
