Can you suggest a good translation tool which works with Open Office, except OmegaT? I've been using OmegaT for some time, but I don't feel comfortable with it. What about Wordfast Classic? Is it possible to use it with Open Office?

OpenOffice can save in .doc format
Aug 12, 2010
I am an enthusiastic user of OmegaT, and don't exactly know the answer to your question. But Open Office can save in .doc, .xls, .ppt etc. formats, so those files can be used in CAT tools that require Micro$oft products.

Not WordFast

Wordfast Classic (WFC) can't be used with OpenOffice because WFC is programmed in VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) which is not implemented in OpenOffice. Oliver

You can try Anaphraseus, it is similar to Wordfast but open source. I never tried it, as Susan said I am an enthusiastic user of OmegaT.

Depends what you mean by "works with"
Aug 12, 2010
My first answer assumed that you meant a CAT tool that actually uses OpenOffice to do the editing. As I wrote, WordFast (WFC) doesn't do this because it is in fact a gigantic Word Macro written in VBA. If you only meant a CAT tool that can be used to translate documents produced by OpenOffice, you can use any CAT tool that can work with files in formats that OpenOffice can process; for example:

Quote from OpenOffice Help: With a few exceptions, Microsoft Office and OpenOffice.org cannot run the same macro code. Microsoft Office uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) code, and OpenOffice.org uses Basic code based on the OpenOffice.org API (Application Program Interface) environment. Although the programming language is the same, the objects and methods are different.
