8.3 Emacs’s PO File Editor
==========================

   For those of you being the lucky users of Emacs, PO mode has been
specifically created for providing a cozy environment for editing or
modifying PO files.  While editing a PO file, PO mode allows for the
easy browsing of auxiliary and compendium PO files, as well as for
following references into the set of C program sources from which PO
files have been derived.  It has a few special features, among which are
the interactive marking of program strings as translatable, and the
validation of PO files with easy repositioning to PO file lines showing
errors.

   For the beginning, besides main PO mode commands (Note: Main PO
Commands), you should know how to move between entries (Note: Entry
Positioning), and how to handle untranslated entries (Note:
Untranslated Entries).
