I personally use Lokalize or, in quite rare cases now, Kate. Lokalize has
almost all you should have in a translation program (one feature that it's
predecessor KBabel has and Lokalize doesn't, is the possibility to commit or
update SVN). Kate has, though, an advantage you can see quite a large part
of file at one time, but, of course, it is not the translation program per
se. But, if there is need to translate something else than PO, Kate is very
useful.
