gettext · .po / .pot · 46 languages · Free

Translate your .po files, with the plurals actually correct

Drop in your django.po or messages.pot. KAERIS translates all 46 languages, writes the correct Plural-Forms for each target (Russian gets 3 forms, Arabic 6, Chinese 1), keeps msgctxt entries distinct, and reads every string back so you catch meaning drift before it ships.

Translate your file → $ pip install kaeris
✓ Correct Plural-Forms per language ✓ msgctxt kept distinct ✓ %s / %(name)s preserved ✓ Header round-trips ✓ No account needed
What breaks in gettext .po — and how KAERIS handles it

Plurals that compile

English has 2 plural forms; Russian and Polish have 3, Arabic has 6. Most tools copy the source's 2 slots and produce a .po that msgfmt rejects. KAERIS writes the right nplurals and formula for the target and expands the msgstr slots to match.

Context that doesn't collide

Two msgid "Open" with different msgctxt are different strings. KAERIS keys them separately so one never silently overwrites the other.

Headers you keep

Project-Id-Version, Language-Team and your X- headers survive the round-trip — only Language and Plural-Forms are rewritten for the target.
