Simplicity
PowerGlot provides a unique user interface for software localization. Create a new database and add the application to translate to it. PowerGlot extracts, sorts and presents all the text contained in the application in a comprehensive way. All your text is just a click away, nicely organized in sorted lists, in a single window. Just browse it, translate it, click a button: you're done, PowerGlot has built your localized application.

Localizing your software is now a matter of hours, if not minutes.

Reusability
To take the ease one step further, PowerGlot includes a glossary mechanism to help you automatically translate common terms accross all your translation projects. PowerGlot supports all script systems (single-byte and double-byte) and Input methods (for languages like Japanese, Chinese, Korean...).

Automation
PowerGlot is also a scriptable application. You can easily build AppleScripts to integrate PowerGlot in your development process and automate most tasks related to building and updating databases. A number of AppleScripts and AppleScript Studio applications (with their source code) are provided with the software, including applications to import glossaries from other environments.

Versatility
Last but not least, PowerGlot knows how to read and translate Mac  OS  Classic applications, PowerPlant resources for applications developed with Metrowerks CodeWarrior, Interface Builder (.nib) files and localizable strings files (.strings) on Mac OS X as well as Palm OS resource files for developers of Palm OS applications.
