What is the best way to make .pot (as well as po and mo) files for wordpress themes?

Question

WordPress

Actually a subject.
I started running a multilingual project on wordpress, I have the following experience and problems: I
use
- grunt-wp-i18n to generate a pot file
- Poedit to create / edit translations
After adding lines that require translation, I execute grunt makepot, update the existing po files and add translations to them .
The plugin is great, does everything you need and how it should be done. But there is a problem: PHP CLI must be in your system path..
Since I use Open Server, I just run the console through it, there is already php and path there and everything works.
But it would be desirable not to depend on Open Server (Vagrant to master for example).
Installing php on Windows and a web server is still apparently - somehow quite melancholy.
I tried another plugin - grunt-pot - does not work, then Object true has no method 'indexOf', then an error of 2 lines of squares.

Answer 1

So far I have settled on this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/

Answer 2

what about plugins for wp - Cyr-To-Lat for example?

Answer 3

Poedit has a function "Update from source code" - and he himself searches in php files for translation lines
