Translate PO (.po) files into 75+ languages while preserving message IDs, placeholders, formatting, and gettext localization structure.
Vitra helps teams translate PO files faster and more accurately without manually rebuilding localization files or breaking software translation workflows.
Whether you are translating software interfaces, web applications, mobile products, SaaS platforms, open-source tools, e-commerce systems, or enterprise products, Vitra helps teams scale multilingual gettext localization workflows efficiently.
What This Integration Does
Vitra uses AI agents in a PO translation workflow designed for gettext localization, software products, multilingual applications, and structured translation delivery.
Instead of editing localization files manually and reassembling translations entry by entry, teams can upload PO (.po) files directly into the Vitra platform.
Universe translates the translatable content inside the PO file while preserving message IDs, placeholders, formatting, comments, and gettext structure.
This enables faster PO localization, multilingual product delivery, and scalable translation workflows.
How It Works
Step 1: Upload the file
- Start by uploading the PO (.po) file you want to translate.
- Vitra scans the file and detects translatable content while preserving message IDs, placeholders, formatting, and gettext localization structure.

Step 2: Confirm the file workflow
- Confirm the uploaded file type and workflow.
- Universe applies the parsing, protected-token, and write-back rules for that format.

Step 3: Select language
- Choose the source language and one or more target languages.
- The same approved terminology and translation memory apply to every selected version.

Step 4: Select Glossary
- Choose your organization’s translation glossary to maintain consistent terminology across applications.
- Glossary-driven translation ensures UI terms, product names, and brand language remain consistent across every translated file.

Step 5: Translate
- Click Translate, and Vitra Universe automatically translates the PO file while preserving:
- Message IDs and gettext structure
- Placeholders and variables
- Localization comments and metadata
- Software compatibility
- Your translated PO file is ready for integration.
