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? | | | Susan Welsh United States Local time: 22:24 Russian to English + ... 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. | | | Oliver Walter United Kingdom Local time: 03:24 German to English + ... Not WordFast | Aug 12, 2010 |
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 | | | Natasa Grubor Bosnia and Herzegovina Local time: 04:24 Member English to Serbian + ...
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. | |

SDL Trados Studio 2009 does. It's a good translation tool | | | Oliver Walter United Kingdom Local time: 03:24 German to English + ... 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: Susan Welsh wrote: 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. 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. Oliver | | | opolt Germany Local time: 04:24 English to German + ...
One CAT tool that claims to handle all OO file formats, old and new, is Heartsome Translation Studio: http://www.heartsome.net/EN/xlfedit.html I'm going to test this one soon and see what mileage I can get. | | |
