OmegaT
Translations can be managed using OmegaT. There is a MacOS distribution
available for download, or it can be installed
via [Macports][] with port install OmegaT
.
See the OmegaT changelog
for release information.
To translate xliff
files from older versions of Xcode, install the
Filters Plugin for OmegaT
which is available from the Okapi Framework, following the
instructions for Mac OS X,
basically, unzipping and copying the contained plug-in Jar file to
~/Library/Preferences/OmegaT/PlugIns
. Create the PlugIns
folder if it
does not exist.
You may need to experiment with which versions of the plugin are valid for the
version of OmegaT. If you get an error on launching OmegaT about unrecognised
class file version in the plugin, the JVM that OmegaT is running with is too
old. Select About OmegaT
from the menu to see which version of JVM it is
running with. Depending which version of OmegaT you downloaded, it may be
running with an included JVM.
In OmegaT Preferences, select File Filters
and disable all XLIFF
filters
except the Okapi XLIFF filters, e.g. XLIFF files (Okapi)
.
When I create a new project, I disable the Enable Sentence-level Segmenting
as I didn't like the behaviour. After creating a project, you can
change that setting under Project > Properties...
.
There is a 'Tutorials' section On the OmegaT Documentation page. The OmegaT for Beginners tutorial by Susan Welsh is a very good introduction.
