 * Hi, I’m a mac user and I was wondering what should I use to generate my .mo files
   in my own language.
    I know that many use Poedit (from poedit.net). But the mac
   version is more than instable.
 * So mac users, what is your method to translate plugin that are “localizable ready”?
 * Thanks.

 * Yes why not but it should be a long way to localize this way …
    May be you’re
   English speaking and that’s why you are not facing this kind of difficulties.
   Thanks.

 * PoEdit is buggy as hell on the mac. As i have an Intel Mac i use the Windows 
   version with Pararells Desktop (Should work fine with Crossover too). On PPC 
   you don’t have so many choices except X11 apps and Apache serverside apps.
