About the project

Why I built LingPO Desk

I’m Stephan, and I work on small multilingual projects in my free time, mostly with Lingui. At some point, I got tired of constantly switching between languages and files just to check translations. So I originally built LingPO Desk for myself, to keep everything I need in one view. I now use it regularly and make it available for free to others who run into the same problem.
