Gettext translation editors

This cluster consists of editors for translation files used in software localization, focusing on gettext (.po) and XLIFF formats, as well as a localized Chinese version of the Zed code editor. The dated history shows five entries spread across October 2021, June 2024, November 2024, March 2025, and March 2026, with no clear trend. Traction leaders are Poedit, poe, and Translation Editor, all with an activity signal of zero stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
