You can download Exgettext here (https://jdo-translations.100webspace.net...t_v0.2.zip) ...there is also a writeup on John's download page if you can find it. When I give John the source code (I forgot it in this package) I will give him a better brief description to advertise the tool/s with.

Exgettext is basically a text dump for your game/project. It works just like xgettext (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gettext) only for Som games. Since the files it handles are binary for the most part it's not as straight forward as xgettext, so the Exgettext.bat file makes it more xgettext-like. The .pot extension is really a generic one... it stands for "portable object template" which just means it's a template for a .po file (portable object, ie. a text file) which corresponds to a .mo file (machine object, ie. a binary file -- which is dependent upon its targeted machine architecture)

To make a .po file you more or less just wanna copy the .pot file and change the name to .po and start translating it into your language. Not generally a big deal.
