Chapter 1. Introduction

Important

In its current state, this KBabel documentation is partially outdated. The basic documentation was meant for KDE 3.2, the corrections are meant for KBabel 1.11.1 of KDE 3.5.1.

KBabel is an advanced and easy to use PO file (GNU gettext message catalogs) editor. It has many features, that make it easy to edit and manage your PO files. This includes full navigation capabilities, extensive editing functionality, search functions, syntax checking and statistics function. Catalog Manager is a file manager view, which helps you keep an overview over your PO files. KBabelDict allows you to translate any text using KBabel capabilities for automated translation. The KBabel suite will help you to translate quickly and also to keep translations consistent.

With the KDE project growing continuously, the number of PO messages is over 47000 at the time of writing this documentation (plus another 20000 messages used for translating application documentation). There is a need to stay organized and consistent across all translations.
