Gettext PO and POT, with references intact

PO is the format translators already know: `msgctxt` disambiguation, translator comments and source references. LocalizationHub keeps all of it when it reads the file, and writes it back on export.

Read directly

msgid and msgstr including escaped, multi-line strings.
msgctxt disambiguation, kept as context on the entry rather than merged away.
Translator comments (#) and source references (#:) shown with the entry instead of being dropped.
Arabic and CJK content survives the round trip, including the export back to PO.
Explicit context written in comments (# Speaker: Mark, # Scene: School Hallway) becomes real dialogue context, and the comments stay on the entry.

Known limits

Plural forms (msgid_plural with msgstr[n]) are built by the extraction path, where the plural index is known. Opening a PO file directly reads msgid/msgstr/msgctxt.
A catalogue with no msgid entries is reported as empty instead of passing silently.
The catalogue header (Plural-Forms, project metadata) is not re-emitted: an exported catalogue is rebuilt from its entries.

Statuses come from the project’s tested compatibility record. Every “read directly” line was validated against real game files or fixtures; partial support is written as partial, and an external tool is named as a tool you configure yourself.
