<p><strong>xili-dictionary is a dictionary storable in custom post type (CPT) and terms (custom taxonomy) to create, update and translate .po files or .mo files of current theme folder and of current plugins.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>xili-dictionary is a plugin (compatible with plugin xili-language) to build a multilingual dictionary saved in the post tables of WordPress as CPT to build .mo files (used online by WP website), .po files (file assigned to a language and used by translator, text format of compiled .mo), and now .pot files. A .pot file (of theme or plugin) can be generated from sources w/o importing entries in dictionary. Files are read and saved on the right place (languages sub-folder) but can also be download on your desktop computer.</li>
<li>With this dictionary, collecting terms from taxonomies (title, description), from bloginfos, from wp_locale, from current theme – international terms with <code>_e(), __() or _n() or _x(),  _ex(), _nx(),...</code> and other functions as in I10n.php – , it is possible to create and update .mo file in the current theme folder and current plugins.</li>
<li>By importing .mo files, it is possible to regenerate readable .po files and enrich translation tables.</li>
<li>xili-dictionary is full compatible with <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/xili-language/" rel="ugc">xili-language</a> plugin and <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/xili-tidy-tags/" rel="ugc">xili-tidy-tags</a> plugin. Also compatible with <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/xili-re-un-attach-media/" rel="ugc">xili re/un-attach media</a> !</li>
<li>xili-dictionary can be used w/o a multilingual plugin or with multilingual plugin based on taxonomy named ‘language’ (Polylang).</li>
<li>As <em>educational plateform</em> in constant changing, xili-dictionary tries to use most of the WordPress Core functions and features (CPT, metabox, pointer, help, pomo libraries, …).</li>
