            a cross-platform gettext catalogs editing tool

About

This program is GUI frontend to GNU gettext utilities (win32 version is part of the distribution) and catalogs editor/source code parser. It helps with translating application into another language. For details on principles of the solution used, see GNU gettext documentation or wxWidgets' wxLocale class reference.

Installing

Binary easily-installable packages are provided for Windows and OS X and are part of many Linux distributions.

Installing from sources

Requirements:

Boost
Unicode build of wxWidgets library, version >= 3.0 (see http://www.wxwidgets.org)
ICU
LucenePlusPlus
If on Unix, GtkSpell for spell checking support

Optional dependencies:

cld2 (better language autodetection and non-English source languages)
Expat and Berkeley DB >= 4.7 (legacy translation memory migration)
C++REST SDK >= 2.5 (Crowdin integration)

Unix

Do the usual thing:

./configure
make
make install

You must have the dependencies installed in a location configure will find, e.g. by setting CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS appropriately.

OS X

You need a full git checkout to build on OS X; see below for details.

After checkout, use the Poedit.xcworkspace workspace and Xcode 6 to build Poedit.

There are some additional dependencies on tools not included with OS X. They can be installed with Homebrew and macosx/Brewfile:

brew bundle macosx/

Windows using Visual Studio 2013

You need a full git checkout to build on Windows; see below for details.

After checkout, use the Poedit.sln solution.

Installing from Git repository

Get the sources from http://github.com/vslavik/poedit:

git clone git://github.com/vslavik/poedit.git

If you are on Windows or OSX, you probably want the dependencies too. They are at git://github.com/vslavik/poedit-deps.git, but as it's a git submodule, you can get them by just doing

git submodule init
git submodule update --recursive

If you get the sources directly from the Git repository, some generated files are not present. You have to run the ./bootstrap script to create them. After that, continue according to the instructions above.

The ./bootstrap script requires some additional tools to be installed:

AsciiDoc, xsltproc and xmlto to generate the manual page
Bakefile, to generate Windows makefiles/projects
ImageMagick and png2icns from libicns to generate icons in Windows and OS X native formats

If you don't have any of the dependencies, ./bootstrap will print errors, but will continue to run. In other words, if you don't need e.g. Windows stuff, you can ignore Windows-specific dependencies.

License

Poedit is released under the MIT license and you're free to do whatever you want with it and its source code (well, almost :-) -- see the license text).

See the COPYING file for details on program's licensing and the icons/README file for details on the icons.

Win32 and Mac OS X versions contain GNU gettext binaries. They are distributed under the GNU General Public License and their source code is available from http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext or, if you have difficulties getting them from there, email me for a copy of the sources.
