# Menu and Toolbar

This section briefly describes all menu entries. If the menu entry has an equivalent toolbar command, its icon is shown near the item's name.

### File Menu

File/Catalogs manager
Opens the catalogs manager.

File/New catalog...
Creates a new catalog. Note that you will have to immediately save the file so that Poedit knows the catalog's position in the directory tree relative to the source code.

File/Open (shortcut: Ctrl-O)
Opens an existing .po catalog.

File/Save (shortcut: Ctrl-S)
Saves the catalog.

File/Save as...
Saves the catalog under a different name. Note that if you save it in a different directory and you use Poedit's catalog update feature, it may stop working, because the relative path to the source files has changed.

File/Preferences
Edits catalog-independent settings. See Preferences dialog for details.

### Edit Menu

Edit/Copy original string to translation field (shortcut: Alt-I)
Inserts the original string into the "translation" text control. This is useful when the translation is identical to, or very similar to, the original string.

Edit/Show references (shortcut: right-click on menu in the list)
Displays a list of all references to the selected string and lets you view the relevant part of the source file.

Edit/Find...
Lets you search the catalog for specific words.

Edit/Translation is fuzzy (shortcut: Alt-U)
Marks/unmarks the selected translation as fuzzy.

Edit/Edit comment
You can edit (or remove) comments related to the selected translation. This is useful, e.g., when you cooperate with other translators and the translation chosen requires further explanation. The presence of a comment is indicated by a pencil icon to the left of the translation line in the list.

### Catalog Menu

Catalog/Update catalog
Update the catalog, i.e. synchronize it with the source code. See Updating Catalog for details.

Catalog/Settings...
Edits catalog-specific settings. See Catalog settings dialog for details.

### View Menu

View/Fullscreen view
Switches Poedit into fullscreen mode to fully utilize screen real estate.

View/Display quotes
Enables/disables displaying of quotes in text controls. Quotation marks are useful when you need to see if the text ends or begins with spaces, but on the other hand, they may be confusing when the text itself contains quotes.
