if you really have to work in Windows, these are the alternatives that come to mind (other than trying to compile/get Gtranslator into working in Windows): Emacs or Xemacs in po mode (be prepared for a bit of a learning curve if you're not used to Emacs) <http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/>, <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/gettext/PO-Mode.html>; <http://www.xemacs.org/>, <http://drupal.org/node/25117> Lokalizer (will replace Kbabel) in KDE on Windows. I've tried it briefly, *seems* to work well enough for "conscious" usage, despite both Lokalize and the Windows port being beta stage. <http://windows.kde.org/> Deja Vu X from Atril (proprietary tool for professionals - powerful, but not especially cheap and has some issues one should be aware of for po files, like manually editing headers before import, inserting any plural forms below each other using "return" inside each target row and double-checking \n in the exported translations for double escapes "\\n") <http://atril.com> Heartsome Translation Editor (proprietary tool, java, AFAIR converts to XLIFF, so there may be some file conversion issues) <http://www.heartsome.net/EN/xlfedit.html> Swordfish (proprietary tool, java, AFAIR also converts to XLIFF, so there may be some file conversion issues) <http://www.maxprograms.com/products/swordfish.html> Another approach might be using Translate Toolkit conversion tools right off (remaining aware of their limitations) and translating using a tool of your choice that can handle whatever the converters can give you, e. g. the open source Omega-T for e. g. Xliff files (it may have the same problems as Swordfish and Heartsome if you use Xliff, due AFAIR to conversion issues). The Translate Toolkit: <http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/> OmegaT: <http://www.omegat.org/> Here's another alternative that just came to mind: <https://open-language-tools.dev.java.net/editor/about-xliff-editor.html> <https://open-language-tools.dev.java.net/> Something you should at any rate always do after translating, is to check that the po file format is in order with gettext (Lokalizer/Kbabel has it neatly integrated, reachable via keyboard shortcut). (Just BTW, isn't/wasn't there a Gnome page with all manner of links and tips like these?)
