If Poedit fails to find a large number of translatable strings in a specified directory, this may be due to .phtml files that are not searched by default
in the standard Poedit installation settings (e.g. within the WordPress plugin wpShopGermany). If you extend the PHP parser settings by adding ";*.phtml", you will subsequently receive an "xgettext" error message. This can be resolved by extending the "Parser command" setting with the command "-L php". A very helpful guide to this error message can be found here, for example.
