Axel,

at the Smarty website I searched for "gettext" and got no results. Maybe
that template engine is not well prepared for gettext localization?

In general: poedit assist the user in creating a .po/.mo file, which in
turn is used by the gettext('keyword') function [included in PHP for
example; _('keyword') is a common alias function name] to retrieve the
localized term for the current 'keyword'. It does not *translate* any files.

Almost:

<h1><?php echo _("Benutzer"); ?></h1>

would allow poedit with correct settings to parse the keyword 'Benutzer'.

But again: Without the application being prepared for gettext()
localization it is of no use. A search for "smarty gettext" might help you.
