Introduction

This Add- on makes poedit more accessible and informative in many aspect of the shortcut command of poedit. It also indicates the different category of messages by either a beep or a preceded asterisk announcement. The indicating sound will help to identify the spots of possible error and help in correction. Now, you can know the source text and the translation texts separately. Further more, the plural formed messages (if any)can now be distinctly recognized. This will help you to judge the translation accuracy more easily. It avoids the round trip of TAB and shift+TAB if desired to know these messages individually.
