PO Translation FAQs

Question 1

What is PO Translation and what problem does it solve?

Accepted Answer

PO Translation is an AI-assisted tool designed specifically for translating Django gettext `.po` files. It solves the common problem of machine translation damaging code elements by intelligently preserving Python variables, Django templates, HTML tags, URLs, and JavaScript code during translation.

Question 2

Can I validate translations before updating my .po files?

Accepted Answer

Yes, PO Translation includes a `validate_and_update_po_file` tool that performs comprehensive validation checks (for variables, HTML, URLs, JS, etc.) on your translations. It then atomically updates your `.po` file only if the translations are deemed valid, or you can use a dry run to preview changes.

Question 3

How does it preserve code and special patterns?

Accepted Answer

The tool features smart detection and preservation for over 12 pattern types, including Python format strings (`%(name)s`, `{variable}`), Django template tags (`{{ var }}`, `{% tag %}`), HTML tags, various URL formats, and specific JavaScript code patterns, ensuring they remain untranslated and intact.

Question 4

Which AI technology does PO Translation use?

Accepted Answer

PO Translation leverages Claude's native AI capabilities for accurate and context-aware translations. This integration means you don't need separate translation APIs or external services, simplifying your workflow and reducing costs.

Question 5

What is the typical workflow for translating with PO Translation?

Accepted Answer

The workflow involves three steps: 1. Use `analyze_po_file` to identify untranslated or fuzzy entries. 2. Claude natively translates these entries. 3. Use `validate_and_update_po_file` to ensure translation quality and automatically update your `.po` file in a single, efficient operation.
