Convert gettext to Markdown.
Drop a .po or .pot file and get a tidy Markdown table of your translations in seconds. It runs entirely in your browser, so your file never leaves your device.

Optimize for AI & RAG
Extra cleanup for LLM ingestion: strip HTML, fix smart quotes, tidy Unicode and spacing.
Add YAML front matter
Prepend a metadata block (title, source, date, word & token counts) for knowledge bases and RAG.
Add table of contents
Build a linked index from the headings. Handy for long documents.
Export RAG chunks (.json)
Split the result into retrieval-ready chunks. Download per file from the result panel.
Most converters quietly upload your documents to a server. This one physically can't.
Built for tools,
not for reading.
A .po file pairs every msgid with its msgstr for translation tooling, so skimming it means hunting through quoted lines. Converting lays each pair out as a readable Markdown table.
#: app.js:42
msgctxt "menu"
msgid "Save"
msgstr "Enregistrer"
msgid "Cancel"
msgstr "Annuler"
# Translation catalog (Gettext)
- **Entries:** 2
| Context | Original (msgid) | Translation (msgstr) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| menu | Save | Enregistrer |
| | Cancel | Annuler |
Everything you
actually need.
Translation catalogs in, a clean Markdown table out, with no server and no account anywhere.
It never leaves your browser
Your .po is read and parsed on your device. Nothing is uploaded to any server, ever.

3 chunks
AI & RAG ready
Optional cleanup, YAML front matter, a table of contents and RAG chunk export.
Works offline
Once the page has loaded you can switch off your connection and it keeps converting.
Entries become a table
Each entry turns into one row: the context, the original string and the translation.
Unicode safe
Accents, symbols and non-Latin scripts come through intact as UTF-8.
Free, and unlimited
No sign-up, no quotas, no watermarks. Convert one file or a thousand; it all runs the same way, on your own device.
What survives
the trip.
Honest about what comes through, and what doesn't. These are the same notes the Formats list shows for gettext, so the page never drifts from what the converter really does.
Kept
3- Context (msgctxt)
- The original string (msgid)
- The translation (msgstr)
Dropped
3- Comments
- Flags
- Plural-form variants beyond the primary string

Everything worth knowing before you drop in a .po or .pot file.
