1 poe - .po file editor 2 ===================== 3 4 For installation instructions, see the file INSTALL. 5 6 7 Q&A 8 --- 9 10 Q: Why? 11 A: - There should be no need for GNOME to edit .po files. 12 - Some folks prefer terminal to GUI. 13 - No, plugin for vi(m) isn't enough. 14 15 Q: Why C? 16 A: Because <Go/Rust/whatever soydev language of the moment> sucks. 17 18 Q: Why is poe saying there are <N+1> messages in my file when 19 other editors say there are <N> messages? 20 A: Because poe takes into account (and allows editing of) the first, 21 special msgid. 22 23 Q: This doesn't do X! 24 A: I might consider adding a feature if I have time, but already poe has all the 25 major ones I planned. It is meant to be a simple .po editing program. 26 27 Q: Is this suckless? 28 A: Definitely not. Any TUI is not suckless. gettext is not suckless, 29 and thus .po files are also not suckless. Despite that, some 30 suggestions for a suckless approach to editing .po files are: 31 vi, ed. Still, termbox, used by poe, is less bloated than ncurses. 32 33 34 License 35 ------- 36 37 poe - .po file editor 38 Copyright (C) 2021-2026 Страхиња Радић 39 40 This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under 41 the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software 42 Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later 43 version. 44 45 File termbox.h is based on termbox2 TUI library, (c) 2021 termbox developers, 46 which is released under the terms of Expat license, see the file 47 LICENSE.termbox.
