OmegaT+ Machine Aided Human Translation Platform

OmegaT+ is a set of free machine-aided human translation(MAHT) tools useful to translators and other language professionals in their work.

It is a project that is hosted on SourceForge, a repository of free software projects and other resources.

Tools developed on this project include OmegaT+, bitext2tmx, and Validator. There are also a few other third party applications included.

OmegaT+, the application, is an upcoming new version of omegat, also hosted on the project, that is a document processor used by translators to translate document contents. It includes various features, such as translation memory via TMX, glossary function, exact and approximate matching, file filters for assorted document types (DocBook, HTML/XHTML, Java properties, OpenDocument (ODF), OpenOffice.org (OOo), OOXML, plain text, and a few others. MS Office formats are handled by conversion to ODF or OOo before use; via free tools such as OpenOffice.org), and a translation project oriented paradigm for managing work.

bitext2tmx is an aligner/converter to TMX application that enables users to create TMX from plain text versions of a document in two different languages. A user can edit the original and translated text side-by-side to match properly and then save out a TMX that can be used in other applications, like OmegaT+, thereby enabling more reuse of previous translation in other new translations.

Validator is a simple application to validate TMX to ensure that they conform properly to the standard and are not broken or corrupted. A user can also clean out invalid characters that could break the TMX when used with certain applications.

History

OmegaT+ was first started in June 2005. It was initially the result of a fork of OmegaT, but intended as a suite of applications and not primarily a single application.
