What good alternatives to poEdit are there?

Question

I'm looking for a .po/.mo editor. I am using gettext for the translation files but don't really like poEdit. It has to run on Windows Vista and it would be even better if it was built into Visual Studio 2008 so I could develop and translate

I really want something that helps me translate and makes translation easier. I want to have suggestions and a spell check

[No option? If there really are no options I might aswell do something about it and code something so translating is easy again. You could even integrate http://dict.leo.org or see what Google Translate has to offer for the Query. ]

Answer 1

Here are some good alternatives:

For KDE users, KBabel is a great choice.

For GNOME users, GTranslator might be good (I haven't tried it yet)

If you are a Vim user Vim script for po files Editing

If you are an Emacs user, you can use the po mode to do your editing.

GTed is probably the best bet as it runs everywhere Eclipse runs.

There's a php application that would be useful for collaborative editing. Actually synchronizing with a subversion system would solve the problem anyways with any of these tools. However, if anyone does remember more applications, feel free to add.

Answer 2

LocFactory is another alternative - sorry, it's OSX only, but it might be useful to others reading this post.

Unfortunately I've found poEdit to be the best of a pretty bad bunch. I'd love to find a replacement.
