Translation-file workbench

What it does

Edit Gettext PO translations and find missing, fuzzy or mismatched placeholders before export.

How to use it

1. Import UTF-8 PO text, filter entries, edit translations and prepare a validated PO export.
2. Processing stays in your browser. No upload or sign-up.

Example

The example flags a missing plural translation and a missing {name} placeholder in a fuzzy greeting.

Methodology

A local parser preserves comments, contexts, source strings and plural forms. Conservative token checks compare common printf/Python percent and simple brace placeholders; export normalizes string wrapping.

Limitations

200,000 characters, 500 KB import, 500 entries including header, six plural forms and 15-second parsing deadline. UTF-8 only; obsolete #~ entries and nonstandard escapes are rejected. Formulas are not evaluated. Warnings are not a format compiler or linguistic-quality guarantee.

Automation

This tool runs in your browser. No upload API or MCP endpoint is available.
