Which one?  It would be good to keep tabs on which ones work well.  I  
didn't have very good luck with POedit, but I didn't try that hard.   
gtranslator seemed nicer.  LocFactory Editor is good too, but non-free  
and Mac OS X only.

There are some people here who know enough Tcl.  But I don't think Tcl  
knowledge is needed for any translations.  What's the question?
