<para>
&kbabel; is an advanced and easy to use <acronym>PO</acronym> file
(&GNU; gettext message catalogs) editor. It has many features, that
make it easy to edit and manage your <acronym>PO</acronym> files.
This includes full navigation capabilities, extensive editing
functionality, search functions, syntax checking and statistics
function.  &catalogmanager; is a file manager view, which helps you
keep an overview over your <acronym>PO</acronym> 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.
</para>

<para>
With the &kde; project growing continuously, the number of
<acronym>PO</acronym> 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.
