title: Translating php app with gettext
body: <p>From my previous questions about gettext, one of the biggest benefits of using PHP's gettext extension instead of other methods of language translation was that it is super easy to have other people make translation files with a program called <strong>Poedit</strong>.  </p>
  
  <p>Now I have gettext working in my app but I have not made any translation files yet, I found a demo file on the net and tested with it to conform my app works with gettext though.  </p>
  
  <p>Now I played around with poedit a little bit and I might be wrong, hopefully someone can clarify some issues.  </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>As far as I can tell poedit reads through your php code and finds all availabale spots to do a translation, is this correct?</p></li>
  <li><p>If the above is correct, then how do you have a human translator translate with poedit without having access to your app?</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Or in simple terms is it possible to make a translation file with poedit without it having access to your php code?</p>
