+This is an editor plugin to edit translation files from inside Godot Engine. It supports .csv and .po files, although gettext support is limited to what Godot can handle.

+
+
+How to install
+-----------------
+
+This is a regular editor plugin. Copy the contents of addons/zylann.translation_editor into the same folder in your project, and activate it in your project settings.
