Poedit (formerly poEdit) is a shareware and cross-platform gettext catalog (.po file) editor to aid in the process of language localisation.[1] According to WordPress developer Thord Hedengren, Poedit is "one of the most popular programs" for editing portable language files.[2]
It is written in C++ and depends on some subclasses from the wxWidgets, but utilizes graphical control elements from the GTK library.[3]

Poedit is a cross-platform editor for .po files (gettext catalogs). It allows to configure the tool with the information related to the translator (name and email) and the environment, and every time a file is translated and saved, that information is included in the file.
