PO File Editor Online: Edit, Translate & Validate in Your Browser
Editing a PO file in the browser is the easy part — the part that breaks your build is validation. Covers what a browser editor actually changes about the workflow, the four things separating a real PO editor from a textarea, the bulk-translate-then-review pass and what to review after it, then the eight checks every catalog needs in failure-cost order: format specifiers, plural arity against the header, header correctness, encoding and BOMs, fuzzy state, duplicate msgid and msgctxt collisions, whitespace and escape sequences, and obsolete entries. Plus the browser → msgfmt → CI validation ladder, a feature checklist for judging any online editor, how to keep the round trip Git-clean, and four cases where a browser editor is the wrong tool.
