PoEdit generates *.mo files from *.po files. This CLI batch (make_mo.bat) file for windows saves time:
set langname=ta_IN set poedpath=C:\Program Files\Poedit\bin\ copy %langname%.po "%poedpath%" set abc=%cd% cd "%poedpath%" msgfmt %langname%.po -o %langname%.mo move %langname%.mo "%abc%" del %langname%.po cd %abc% set abc=
Customize the first two lines to suit your language and PoEdit path and place it in the folder having the *.po file and execute it. The *.mo file will get generated in it now.
