About PO files

PO files contain lists of tokens and translations. Tokens are stored in "msgid" values and translations in "msgstr" values, e.g.

msgid "%s blocked by safe search."
msgstr "%s wurde von der sicheren Suche blockiert."

An untranslated token has an empty msgstr:

msgid "%s blocked by safe search."
msgstr ""

PO editing software

While you can edit PO files in any text editor or directly on GitHub, there are some tools which can simplify the process (highlight untranslated tokens etc.)

• Poedit
• Online PO file editor

Where to find the PO file for your language

Example: Deutsch (Deutschland)

Find the locale code for your language in the list below. The file can be found under locales/, e.g. locales/de_DE/LC_MESSAGES/duckduckgo.po
