Installation & first run

System requirements

  • Windows 10/11 (64-bit).
  • Internet — only for AI translation and update checks. Everything else works offline.

Installation

  1. Download PoAgent-<version>-portable.exe from the Download section.
  2. Put it into any folder where you have write permissions (e.g. D:\Tools\PoAgent\).
  3. Run the exe. No installer, no registry, no AppData.
Portable model: all data (settings, TM, glossary, cache, license) lives in the Data\ folder next to the exe. Moving to another machine = copying the folder.

First launch

On first start:

  1. Press Sample — a demo .po loads so you can look around.
  2. Open ⚙ Settings → AI profiles and add your provider (see Connecting PoAgentAi) — or work manually, it is free.
  3. Open your .po: File → Open... (Ctrl+O) or drag & drop the file onto the window.

File association

If you double-click a .po file (after Windows remembers PoAgent via «Open with»), it opens in the existing app window.

Data and the Data folder

FileContents
Data\settings.jsonSettings, AI profiles, license
Data\tm.jsonTranslation memory
Data\glossary.jsonProject glossary
Data\cache.jsonTranslation cache (repeated strings are free)
Data\log.txtTechnical log (attach it when contacting support)

Settings are written atomically; the previous version is kept as .bak and restored automatically if the main file is corrupted.
