i'm trying out omegat. i can use my trados tm, exported into tmx, which is cool. however, it frequently quits while i'm doing the translation.
it says that it ran out of memory etc, and one of the solution is for me to increase amount of memory for omegat.
my questions are:
- how can i increase the memory for omegat?
- is there any other way?

| OmegaT: quits on ran out of memory | Mar 8, 2007 |
Assign more memory to OmegaT when you launch it using the -XmX option.
For example:
java -Xmx260M -jar OmegaT.jar
This would assign 260 MB of memory to OmegaT. (I think the default is 128 MB.)
The memory load in OmegaT is a product of the source file(s) and the TM(s), so if you reduce one or the other you should see an improvement in performance.

Try splitting up your source text(s): if you have several, place one in /source, translate it, then remove it, place the second in /source, translate it, etc. Or divide your text into chapters and do the same thing. If you have lots of TMs, only use those that you know are relevant (a good reason not to use a single, large TM).

You can run the command from the command line, but it is easier simply to edit the script. You may want to experiment with different values.

Are you on Windows? Then search for the omegat.bat file, open it, replace java -jar Omegat.jar with the sentence Marc suggested.

i edited the script, allocated 512mb, and it worked like a charm. in fact, i'm using it right now. i will have to say that this is a very nice program! it can use my huge trados tm (converted to tmx) very fast.
i have other questions, though. they're a bit off topic:
- how can i edit the tm in omegat?
- i'd like to help localizing the program into indonesian, where should i go?

SITE LOCALIZER | Indeed, the questions deserve separate topics, but here are the answers: | Mar 9, 2007 |
1) You can't edit a TM from within OmegaT. You have to:
a) close your project;
b) edit project_save.tmx with any text editor;
c) reopen the project.
2) You should go to the OmegaT's SourceForge site http://sourceforge.net/projects/omegat and download the localization package for the current version.

There are a minimal package (GUI and readme) and a full one (minimal + help documentation). So, choose what you can afford.
It is also advisable to join the omegat-l10n list (there, on the SF site), dedicated to localization issues. ▲ Collapse

I found PlusToyz.doc an absolute charm for this kind of jobs - it's a collection of tools to convert between tmx, ttx, double-column word tables etc etc.

Hello,
I'd like to use a huge .tmx (~100MB) but I can't find this "omegat.bat" file.
Can someone give more details on how to assign more memory to OmegaT?
Splitting the .tmx didn't work. Any other suggestion?
Thanks

In recent versions of OmegaT, under Windows, there is no need to use a batch file.
Just edit OmegaT.l4J.ini, in the folder where OmegaT is installed, to add the memory you need.
This is documented in installingAndRunning.html, in the English documentation.
