OmegaT - это программное обеспечение с открытым исходным кодом класса Computer Aided Translation (автоматизированный компьютерный перевод). Оно написано на языке Java, переведено на множество языков и обладает большим коммьюнити. В данной статье будут описаны только некоторые шаги для использования OmegaT при работе с файлами в формате .odt. Пожалуйста обратитесь к документации OmegaT, чтобы узнать, как использовать его в своей работе переводчика.

Miloš Šrámek выступал с докладом о своем рабочем процессе (за что ему спасибо огромное!), эта страничка описывает процесс работы, основываясь на его докладе.

Использование OmegaT
Скачайте программное обеспечение с официального сайта по ссылке: http://www.omegat.org/. Даже если вы используете Linux, пакеты, предлагаемые к использованию через репозиторий дистрибутива, часто бывают устаревшими, так что лучше установить последнюю версию с сайта. Кроме того, требуемая версия Java может не соответствовать той, которая предоставляется вашим дистрибутивом, так что выбирайте вариант, включающий в себя Java.

Чтобы установить его в Windows, используйте стандартный способ для этой ОС "NEXT-NEXT-NEXT-OK". Для Linux есть скрипт, который разместит OmegaT в каталоге /opt и установит Java в каталог пользователя, если другая версия JAVA уже установлена в системе, так что просто нужно запустить скрипт linux-install.sh и всё.

Ниже приведена инструкция по работе в OmegaT над переводом документа в формате .odt. Запустите OmegaT и выполните следующее:
 * Создайте новый проект с именем, например, GuideTrans. Он будет создан в новом подкаталоге в вашем домашнем каталоге.
 * В окне Создание проекта выберите язык документа-источника и язык создаваемого документа.
 * Select the location of the guide you downloaded in the File for source language
 * Let the other paths as they are, the corresponding directory will be created in the GuideTrans directory
 * Click OK, you are now ready to translate the guide

When you have finished your translation, create an .odt document that will be placed in the GuideTrans/target directory by selecting Create translated files under the Project menu.

Remember that under the project directory (GuideTrans in our case) you have several sub-directories that you can access: dictionary, glossary, source and target and translation memory. There is also several .tmx files (translation memory files) under the omegat directory. Again, do not hesitate to read the OmegaT documentation to go further with this helpful tool.

Adding UI.po file
The translation for the LibreOffice interface and help is maintained by the l10n teams via Pootle. The format of the files there are .po files. The .po files are spread across multiple directories, which makes working with them difficult. By using a tool called 'Translate toolkit' we can modify this structure to get a big .csv file. This .csv file can be added to OmegaT to serve as a glossary. The glossary has a major benefit: while translating, you will be proposed the exact terms used in the menus and the dialog boxes, which is very important for consistency and the quality of the guides.

So, how to get all this in place [those explanations are on Debian, if you know how to do it on Windows, please add them :)]:

Suggestions will appear on the Glossary area of the OmegaT window and on the contextual menu. You can also activate them using Options > Transtips > Unable Transtips.
 * First, download the UI.po file in your language from here: https://translations.documentfoundation.org/XX/libo_ui/ where XX is the code of your language.
 * Download and install the Translate Toolkit from here: http://toolkit.translatehouse.org/index.html, there is an installer for Windows. On Linux, if you already had an old version installed, it is recommended to remove it before installing a new one.
 * Create a directory (podir in our example) where you unzip the downloaded UI files
 * Then, use the command line to convert po files to csv files from podir to csvdir (where the csv files will be placed)
 * We will now create the big csv file
 * Now navigate to csvdir directory and open the lo.csv file with LibreOffice, remove the first column that contains comments and save the file as text csv using tab as column separators.
 * Copy the file to the GuideTrans/glossary directory.

Adding a 3rd file
The idea here is to add a third file that will serve as translation memory for the current translation. Imagine you have an old guide already translated that you want to update to the newest English version but based on the old one in your language. We will then transform an existing .odt old file in a .tmx file. Before the transformation, make sure that your file is clean of direct formatting to avoid extra tags to be created. Then:


 * Create a new project in OmegaT called Aux
 * Set the segment displaying so that it shows text only
 * Copy the old translated guide to the Aux/source directory
 * Now, using the mouse, copy all text for both files and paste it to a new file.
 * Save the new file as a txt file, check the alignment of the segment and correct it using this tool https://sourceforge.net/projects/aligner/ and then export it as .tmx file.

Manage a Team Project
This part explains how to use the Team Project functionality of OmegaT. The Team Project feature in OmegaT makes it possible for multiple translators to work on the same translation project, over the internet, using a synchronised project memory and a synchronised project glossary.

There are two parts in this guide. The first part will get you set up with the repository on GitHub to have the project synchronised. The second part is about how to set up the project on OmegaT. The team leader will set up the OmegaT part or ask Sophie on the Documentation project to set it for them, while the translators will only have to give the URL of the repository to OmegaT and translate as usual without taking care of anything else.

GitHub part
The first thing is to create a directory for your project on GitHub under the OmegaT repository. Well you need to be added to the OmegaT group too.


 * 1) To be added to the project
 * 2) * create an account on GitHub
 * 3) * ask Sophie to be added to the LO/OmegaT group
 * 4) Adding your language directory
 * you need to have svn installed on your computer
 * check out the repository using subversion to create a local repository:
 * enter OmegaT/trunk and create the xx directory where xx is your language code

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xast59mptyxmj0u/AAC_jDmdALFrqUyShx1rzCOIa?dl=0
 * download and unzip lo-guides-lang-template.zip. This template has been prepared by Miloš and will create what is needed in your repository, which you can get from


 * change  for   in the LOGuides/omegat.project file, where XX is your language code


 * copy the LOGuides and LOGuides-graphic into the OmegaT/trunk/xx directory

(if you do not want the odg files with screenshots, either delete LOGuides-graphics or do not add it to svn. They may help, however, since besides screenshots there are also some drawings)
 * add your language (xx is your language code) repository to svn


 * you may try to open the project in OmegaT now (do not do that prior to 'svn add', since OmegaT will create a few files, which should not be stored in the repository)


 * commit your language project (xx is your language code) with all the content inside

OmegaT part

 * 1) Open the project from OmegaT, replace xx by your language code in the URL:
 * 2) * use Project -> Download team project
 * 3) * enter "https://github.com/LibreOffice/OmegaT/trunk/xx/LOGuides" in the Repository URL Box and hit tab - if OK, OmegaT will detect repository type and confirm that it is a subersion repository just below the field.
 * 4) * enter the name of the local work folder (or create it - do not use the original which you have used to check out by subversion)
 * 5) * Hit 'OK'. OmegaT in its lower left corner shows progress
 * 6) Start translating.

Any time you will save the project, it will be synchronized on GitHub, the glossary and the translation will be updated.

If there are other translators who want to work on the same project, they will need to create an account on GitHub. We will add them to the team and they will then have to follow the steps in the OmegaT part. They will never have to visit GitHub, everything will be handled by OmegaT.

The next steps are, as explained above:
 * create glossary with GUI translation using the .po files on Pootle
 * create tmx files from old translations to reuse them as a third file
 * have everything translated by "Google translate" to save a lot of typing
