Poedit’s latest version, 2.1, is all about pre-translation and TM improvements. You can now import and export your translation memory as TMX files; plurals are supported too.
Thank you for the list of where to put the translation files and the tip about poEdit! I installed poEdit, opened my edited.pot file, exported the.po and.mo files, uploaded them to the appropriate directories and changed to the language in wp-config to “enUS” while naming the files buddypress-enUS.po and buddypress-enUS.mo. Poedit offers a clean and easy to use translations interface and supports plural forms and UTF-8. Poedit comes in two versions: “Free” and “Licensed”. The benefit of the licensed version is that you can pre-translate original WordPress strings. Top ↑ Download and install Poedit # Download and install Poedit.
Most notably, online suggestions hugely improve machine translation in 2.1. And I mean hugely — you’ll see the difference right away after you update to the new version. This quality upgrade is completely free for everybody that already has a Poedit Pro 2 license. Capture one 9 2 1 – raw workflow software.
2.1 also introduces a new, higher tier of machine translation in the form of the optional Pro+ subscription. When enabled, Poedit will use Google Translate or DeepL for machine translation, instead of the standard provider.
Especially DeepL is particularly impressive and translators love it:
Wow, @PoeditApp is killing it with their brand new 2.1 Pro+ release! The optional DeepL maschine translation is mind blowing and a gamechanger! Just tested on a #WordPress premium plugin: 99% perfect translated into German - automatically in about 30 sec ;-)
— David Decker (@deckerweb) July 24, 2018If you’d like to upgrade your Pro license to Pro+, you can do it in Preferences → TM → Change Settings inside Poedit. Your original Poedit Pro 2 purchase will be credited towards it, plus there’s an additional lifetime 10% launch discount if bought before August 31.
It’s a “soft” subscription. If you cancel it, your license will revert back to the standard Pro level. You will still retain access to all Poedit Pro features except the premium machine translation.
