Questions

FAQ

How is KAERIS different from POEditor?

Both are lightweight and get out of your way. KAERIS adds read-back: every string is back-translated by an independent model and checked for meaning drift, plus a deterministic placeholder/tag check. And it starts free with no account.

Can I move my .po / JSON files over?

Yes — export from POEditor and drop the file in. For .po, KAERIS writes the correct Plural-Forms for each target language and keeps msgctxt distinct; JSON keeps its nesting. No account needed to try.

Does it keep my terms consistent?

List brand/product terms as glossary entries and KAERIS keeps them verbatim across all 46 languages — and flags any that don't survive as a fact, not a guess.

I need contributors to collaborate on strings — is KAERIS enough?

If shared contributor management is central to your flow, POEditor is a fair choice for that. KAERIS is a translate-and-verify tool, not a collaboration platform.
