Split screen for two translations
It would be great if it will be a feature to open more than one PO files at a time. One just for reference. IE when we translating to Chinese we can look at the English translation.
Don't misuse gettext (as evidenced in #448) and you won't need this as much.
Auxiliary translations make sense in some limited situations (not the one you mention, but for pairs like Czech-Slovak or Russian-Ukrainian). They're planned, but not a priority due to limited usefulness. If it's very important to you, contribute.
This would be useful for all the Scandinavian (North Germanic) languages, and in particular the two Norwegian forms Bokmål and Nynorsk. It is now more efficient to open the two files in GNOME Edit and copy-paste, occasionally translating by using the extension for Apertium, than using poedit.
Btw, I don't think having a split-screen feature would have anything to do with gettext as such. It is more of a design issue for poedit.
Not sure why my comment was marked as duplicate. I pointed out why this kind of feature is useful for Scandinavian languages. They are very closely related.
