The Pro version is a paid in-app upgrade that enhances Poedit with additional features and benefits. Here’s what you get:
Poedit is community-supported, but the Pro comes with direct, personal support from the developer himself. If you are struggling with Poedit or Gettext, I’m here to help.
The Pro version suggests possible translations for you. It fetches the suggestions from a vast online database that contains hundreds of millions entries and, combines with your personal translation memory and adds state-of-the-art machine translation into the mix.
The Pro version comes with extra smarts: it understands WordPress themes and plugins. When you need to make a new translation, it sets everything up for you — even if you don’t know anything about Gettext (or would rather not waste time learning it all). You can focus on translating the texts, without having to worry about the technical details.
Or you could, you know, do it the old fashioned manual way in the free version of Poedit. But the pro way is so much better.
Professionals need statistics to get paid. Poedit’s word count is language-aware, conforms to the latest Unicode Standard and has built-in, dictionary-based support for text in languages such as Chinese, Japanese or Thai.
Poedit Pro is definitely worth the $20 if you need to translate WordPress themes or plugins.
This is just the beginning. If you purchase a Poedit Pro license now, you will receive all future Poedit Pro 1.x and 2.x updates for free.
The purchase is a one-time payment and grants you lifetime right to use Poedit Pro 1.x and 2.x. You can use the license on multiple computers (both Windows PCs and Macs) that you use personally, as long as you are the only user. Licenses purchased on the Mac App Store are only valid for use on macOS.
Can't wait to go Pro on my next project. Thanks for making our lives that much easier.
