Questions regarding language translation using .pot file

I have a .pot file that I wish to translate to a native language and get the final .po file. At this moment, the only plausible option that I have is to open the set of .pot files in a text editor and convert each phrase to the native language.

I would like to know if this can be automated by using some tool/software . I tried POEDIT (in Windows) for converting my .pot file to the native language (Hindi) but it could not perform a single translation. Please provide some inputs.

Thanks

  • You can use Translator Toolkit provided by Google. https://translate.google.com/toolkit

    (you need a Google account)

    Before uploading your file you have to change the file extension to .po so google can accept it.

    After translation; download the translated file and use your editor of choice to manage and optimize your translations.
