>&kbabel; is an advanced and easy to use <acronym
>PO</acronym
> file (&GNU; gettext message catalogues) 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. &cataloguemanager; is a file manager view, which helps you keep an overview over your <acronym

>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 organised and consistent across all translations. </para>
