Currently i’m investigating if it’s worth the hassle to generate translation files for plugins.
I’m orientating on which tools i should use and which are the best.

Any ideas welcome. I use OSX. So Windows based tools will be worthless to me.
I’ll be experimenting with a smaller plugin IF i put this through.

A ton of information here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_a_Plugin#Internationalizing_Your_Plugin

Any help is welcome!

Well after a few hours of searching i think this is totally doable were it not that there are NO working tools for OSX. So i guess it’s a no go after all. There is Poedit ofcourse. But it keeps writing faulty files or missing headers that are clearly there. It makes no sense and i’m not in the “fixing-other-man’s-crappy-application” business. It’s either missing a header that is present, or it cannot read the UTF-8 charset. Epic fail!
