An independent Linux alternative to VisualLocalize, it provides developers and translators with an integrated desktop environment for Gettext localization workflows. Key Features: * Pure-Python PO to MO Compiler & Decompiler: Compiles UTF-8 .po catalogs with contexts (msgctxt) and plural forms into standard 0x950412de magic header .mo binaries, and decompiles existing Linux .mo catalogs back into clean .po text. * Multi-Language POT Source Extractor: Parses Python AST and JavaScript/TypeScript/C/C++ source trees for gettext, \_, dgettext, ngettext, and pgettext calls with file:line references and format flag detection. * Interactive Plural-Forms Expression Tester: Evaluates C-style Plural-Forms expressions across integer ranges (including multi-form Slavic, Romance, East Asian, and Arabic rules) to preview exact msgstr[index] selection. * Translation Quality Auditor: Detects untranslated entries, fuzzy markers, missing plural slots, format placeholder mismatches, and newline discrepancies.

They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed. You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor. Tumbleweed: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy ``` Leap 15.x: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy ``` If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE. With the repository added, import its GPG key: ``` sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh ``` Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository: ``` sudo zypper dup --from snappy ``` Snap can now be installed with the following: ``` sudo zypper install snapd ``` You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH. Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor ``` ### Install Gettext PO and MO Binary Compiler To install Gettext PO and MO Binary Compiler, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install gettext-mo-compiler ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
