What do you like best about Poedit?

Very easy to manually translate, also easy to use translate engines, which makes the translation process faster (and maybe better). WordPress integration is a great add-on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Poedit?

At the price that the software has, if you really use it, there isn't much to comply about... As we're in 2023, maybe to integrate IAs to improve translation... If you really to PO files, it's a great app at a great price (even free is useful). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Poedit solving and how is that benefiting you?

Translation of WP sites (plugins and themes), and SaaS web apps which uses .PO/.MO files in a simple way, without involving the technical team (by translation I mean modifying existing translations and creating new ones). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Poedit?

Deal with translations could be painful, no matter which platform you are developing. Poedit simplifies the process and lets you work with standard formats and build incremental translations for different languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Poedit?

Some features are only available in the pro edition. I guess they have to make money in some way. Any way, free edition is still very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Poedit solving and how is that benefiting you?

Working with and developing WordPress and WooCommerce templates and plugins requires building, correcting and even adding translation files. Poedit simplifies the process of working with .pot and .po files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Poedit?

Handle translations in notepad or plain text editors is error-prone. Pedit makes the process way more straightforward and integrates well with WordPress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Poedit?

You must pay for the pro edition to use some features. As a web developer, Poedit is not a tool I use everyday, so the pro edition price seems expansive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Poedit solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Poedit to handle .po, .pot and .mo files for WordPress and WooCommerce plugins and themes. Many times I had to generate new translations from existing ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Poedit?

Poedit is a very minimal software that is easy to get started on (minimal learning curve) with easy visual cues, translation feature, and FREE! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Poedit?

Not much really, maybe a relateable onboarding experience might help to get things organized before getting started would be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Poedit solving and how is that benefiting you?

In our case, we had to translate a survey into 11 different languages, we had to coordinate with colleagues around the world to perform this translation correctly and efficiently. Poedit was perfect for this and made the process so much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Poedit?

Poedit is a lightweight (compare to the majority) application and coded well that doesn't crash when you're processing a big volume file. A clear and simple User Interface allows you to hand-on immediately. WIth its Catalogs Manager, you can easily manage all your projects and spot the project status; update/Sync with form source files is another excellent feature, one-click can do the job done and prompts you if conflicts occurred, excellent error prevention method.

The best part of them all, this app can be functioning offline! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Poedit?

If it's a must to say something about "dislike," maybe the file converting tool is not embedded. And the paid Pro version pricing is a bit too high for personal/education use, given Poedit itself also received contributions from git and crowdin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Poedit:

Poedit offers a trial Pro version for a while, and you may continue to use the free version after the Pro version expired, features in the free version may already meet the requirement of users in general. Poedit allows you to manage memory files (tmx) separately to avoid confusing suggestions when translating. For those intermediate users, there are extractors features available, this may also benefit dev to extract the strings with no unknown errors or redundat symbols and characters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Poedit solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Poedit to translate files; some are for business use, some are for contributions to NPOs. Poedit help me manage these projects without falsely messing the files (lots of file naming aligned to its language name and may have the same file name), thanks to Catalogs Manager feature.
