In frmMain.cs, at line 1153, there's a hard-coded "en" base language for Bing translations:

string translated = Utils.BingTranslator.Translate("en", this.CurrentPO.Language.TwoLetterISOLanguageName, from.Text);

Since it is possible to use gettext with a base language other than english, it would be useful to have a way to specify it, either as a config option, a selection in the form, or other means.

Currently /' is not accepted by your application.

Recommend to allow escaped single quotes inside msgids and msgstr.

It seems that the program does not recognize entities with no whitespace between them. But according to https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/PO-Files.html the whitespace is optional.

For example, a .po file with the following content is open the error message lead to "ID started more than once." is triggered.

msgid "one"
msgstr "uno"
msgid "two"
msgstr "dos"

At the same time a file with the following content is parsed fine:

msgid "one"
msgstr "uno"

msgid "two"
msgstr "dos"

I'm using version 1.2.0.

I miss shortcut to "copy from source" - you guessed it, function to copy and paste original text from source. Especially helpful if there is ton of variables inside a string. Another thing I am missing is any way to edit header info (plurals, translator mail, name and other file info). Other than that betterpoeditor has superior UI to all of its windows alternatives.

I found your software through http://alternativeto.net/software/better-po-editor/ and I am not really sure you have any intention in further development, but if not, it is a shame since your editor has the best interface and poEdit is slowly turning to s**t.

It looks like the project is dead? The last release is from 2013 and the website is no longer reachable.

When I load a PO file, the button "Untranslated" is active by default. Due to that, I couldn't see anything after the file was loaded. So far so correct, but what I found a bit confusing is the progress bar in the status bar. It stays "green" at 100%, I kind of expected that there would be some kind of feedback.

Either remove the loading information or replace it with "file successfully loaded".

The information about compiling the mono sources are misleading, as you actually need the complete Mono Development (meta) package.

So the CORRECT apt-get call would be as follows:
apt-get install mono-devel

cu, w0lf.

Seems that Azure has changed how the translate service works?
I tried to use what they have now, and I get a message that says:
"Error verifying the Bing translator parameters: The remote name could not be resolved: datamarket.accesscontrol.windows.net"

And the links don't all work either, specifically the "Translate service' one, the "reported here" works but I think it is actually out of date!

Mind you have such valid message ids in your po file:

msgid ""
"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
"XXXXXXXXXXXX"
msgstr ""

msgid ""
"YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"
"YYYYYYYYYYYYY"
msgstr ""

The editor does them show correctly, but your compiler throws an fatal error because of dublicates.

Recommend to take multi line msgids in account.

The title says it all

mlocati:
Trying to open a .po file to try out your PO editor, I get this msg:

Error at lines 1~3:

Unknown entry kind.

These are lines 1-3 (which are just comments as generated by my compiler):

This file is generated by Harbour 3.2.0dev (Rev. 18103)

Any way to avoid the above other than having to remove those line everytime I merge my .po files before editing?

Could anyone compile a Mac edition?
