About POEditor
POEditor is a hosted translation management system for software localization. Developers upload or sync their strings, translators work in a browser interface and the finished translations are exported back in the formats the project uses.
The product is organized around roles, with documentation for project owners, project admins, project contributors and organization managers. It combines AI localization with human expertise, aiming to maximize automation while keeping humans in the loop, and offers integrations, an API with documentation, a knowledge base and a product tour. The vendor also publishes articles on enterprise localization strategy and providing context for AI translation.
POEditor is proprietary software delivered as a cloud service with a published pricing page. It is relevant to developers, translators and project managers in small teams and growing companies that want a straightforward localization workflow.
