Now there’s a new file to learn about, it’s the POT file.Ī POT file is a catalog for the original language of the project. In the first article of this series I explained what are PO and MO files. It’s worth to mention here what a catalog is. After this, you need to configure the catalog. Here you have to choose the original language of your project, not the language you want to translate the theme/plugin to. So, click on File > New and choose the language of your translation. If you want though, feel free to support the project and upgrade Poedit to the PRO version. To create a new WordPress project it says that you need to upgrade to PRO, but you don’t really need it, in fact I never used the PRO version and I was always able to translate WordPress projects, only you need some more steps to set up the project. You should see a screen like this:Īs you can see, it has a PRO version too. When you are done, open it for the first time. Download it from here and go through the installation wizard to install it. Installing Poedit is easy as is for any other program in Windows, OS X or Linux. In this tutorial though, you will learn how to use it to translate your WordPress theme/plugin. It does not only work with WordPress, but with anything that uses the gettext package to manage translations. Poedit is an open source ( MIT license) program available for OS X, Windows and Linux. Yesterday I wrote about how to translate WordPress themes and plugins with Loco Translate and I mentioned also another method, which is by using Poedit.
