Using PO Editing tools
You need a PO editor to edit PO files which is the main format used by Free
Software, it is also the format the the Translate Tollkit uses when converting
Mozilla and OpenOffice.org files for editing
There are a few PO editing tools available. Your choice really depends on
which platform you are running:
1) I use Windows
Install PO Edit or IniTranslator
2) I use Linux
2.1) I use KDE
Install or use KBabel
2.2) I use Gnome
Install or use GTranslator
3) I am not allowed to install software on my computer
If possible use a web-based translation tool. Not all translation projects
have a web interface for translation.
4) I am not allowed to use the web
If you cannot install software or use the web then you might want to look
at using CSV files edited in a Spreadsheet. You will have to have access
to email though.
Other alternatives
For the masochists
* CSV
You can use a Spreadsheet to edit PO files that have been converted into CSV.
It works quite well but is not highly recommended if you have good access to a
PO editor listed above.
* VI
You can use the vi editor. Make sure you install the updated PO syntax
highlighter available here:
