What it does

Poedit is a translations editor for the gettext system, with dedicated support for translating WordPress themes and plugins and with advanced translation memory, pre-translation and machine-translation capabilities.

Professional translation editor for PO, XLIFF, JSON, Qt and Flutter with machine translation, pre-translation and smart editing tools.

Poedit was built to handle translation using gettext (PO), which is used by many PHP projects (Drupal, WordPress), Python projects (Django), or virtually anything running on Linux. With comprehensive safety checks, a minimal and intuitive interface and easy management of files and templates, Poedit lets you focus on what matters most: getting the work done. Poedit’s built in support for cloud localization platforms makes collaboration a breeze. Access all your Crowdin or Localazy projects and translate directly from the app. I’ve just discovered @PoeditApp You guys just saved tons of my time. HUGE THANKS! Save time with accurate, lightning-fast pre-translation and intelligent suggestions,…from poedit.com

    Hi When you are learning a new language, you need to practice different skills: reading, listening, speaking, writing. I find writing to be the hardest activity, not least because I have to look up words in the dictionary all the time, and that is a frustrating context switch. Here is an experimental CodeMirror-based editor, that lets you look up translations inline. Type @ followed by the English word, and get a list of possible translations, and select the translation to apply it. Online demo: https://foreign-dispatch-autocomplete.netlify.app/

    Hello ! David from Spain here :) I built TransLite because I was tired of breaking my flow every time I needed to translate something before sending it. The usual workflow was: copy → open a browser tab → paste → translate → copy again → paste back. I've created a small macOS menubar app that lets you translate the current clipboard instantly using a keyboard shortcut, in any app. It works locally and supports using your own OpenAI / Claude API key. It’s intentionally simple — no accounts, no tracking, no subscriptions. Happy to answer any questions. Best regards, David

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
