Learning to use poedit

There is an application that is gettext-ready and that we want to translate using poedit. There is a working installation of poedit, but none of us in the company knows how to use it. Is there a brief tutorial or can someone explain how to use this application? If there is no .po file, should one be created? Is the .po file the only file that has to be edited?

Thanks in advance

EDIT: Overlooked the fairly extensive help file that is included in poedit. Problem solved.

gettext

GETTEXT(1)								GNU								GETTEXT(1)

NAME

       gettext - translate message

SYNOPSIS

       gettext [OPTION] [[TEXTDOMAIN] MSGID]
       gettext [OPTION] -s [MSGID]...

DESCRIPTION

       The gettext program translates a natural language message into the user's language, by looking up the translation in a message catalog.

       Display native language translation of a textual message.

       -d, --domain=TEXTDOMAIN
	      retrieve translated messages from TEXTDOMAIN

       -e     enable expansion of some escape sequences

       -E     (ignored for compatibility)

       -h, --help
	      display this help and exit

       -n     suppress trailing newline

       -V, --version
	      display version information and exit

       [TEXTDOMAIN] MSGID
	      retrieve translated message corresponding to MSGID from TEXTDOMAIN

       If the TEXTDOMAIN parameter is not given, the domain is determined from the environment variable TEXTDOMAIN.  If the message catalog is not
       found in the regular directory, another location can be specified with the environment variable	TEXTDOMAINDIR.	 When  used  with  the	-s
       option  the program behaves like the `echo' command.  But it does not simply copy its arguments to stdout.  Instead those messages found in
       the selected catalog are translated.  Standard search directory: /usr/share/locale
