I am looking ahead to translate core files using windows PO edit. I have downloaded the templates, went through the handbook and readme of templates.

I opened one of the .pot template and started translating. Just would like to confirm that only after the completing the translation, i should run the extractor.php ?

please let me know if my understanding is correct

thanks

Extractor.php is used to extract printed sentences
from modules to create a .pot file. (check here)

If you have a .pot file you can use it as is without using extractor.php.
Simply copy the .pot file into a languge.po file.
(example: it.po for Italian)
