OmegaT does not support the latest version of Microsoft Translator's API key. I just heard from the OmegaT developers that OmegaT only works with older credentials for Bing Translator. Also, in Options > Preferences > Machine Translation, there should be a tick in the box next to the machine translation engine that you want to use.Īdded: I posted a how-to for Yandex here.Īdded: I attempted to re-figure out how to sign up for Bing Translator, but I also get an error "401" in OmegaT. If you tick the box "Store for this session only", OmegaT will forget the API key when you restart OmegaT. I can confirm that the API key should work with multiple projects.
Getting the API keys are not simple, and the process of getting them are prone to change.
So, you're likely to get help quicker if you ask three separate questions (one for Google, one for Microsoft and one for Yandex) here. Google with Trados will go through the exact same steps to obtain the API key. The API keys for the machine translation systems work on all CAT tools, so "how to get the API key" isn't really an OmegaT-specific question. When you are ready to view the final product, you can export the translated files, open them in the appropriate application and view the translation in the final format.I still can’t manage to find the API key on any of them. OmegaT stores your translations and proposes possible translations from similar segments registered in the translation memory files. When you let OmegaT know the files that you need to translate, it looks for the files it understands based on file filtering rules, recognizes the textual parts within them, splits up the text groups according to the segmentation rules, and displays the segments one by one so that you can proceed with the translation. Imagine having to translate something from a single file to a folder containing subfolders each with a number of files in a variety of formats. For your reference, the OmegaT CAT Tool displays the translation of any word that is both present in the segment and registered in the glossary. OmegaT uses glossaries containing translations of single words or small phrases: a simplified bilingual dictionary for a specific domain. Terminology management is important for translation consistency. The OmegaT CAT Tool uses the standard tmx file format to store and access translation memories, which guarantees that you can exchange your translation material with other CAT applications supporting this file format. If you are supplied with previously created translation memories, for example by your translation agency or your client, OmegaT is able to use these as reference memories. Modifications to the original document are thus handled with greater ease. Unchanged sentences are automatically translated, while updated sentences are shown with the translation of the most similar, older sentence. These translation memories can be very useful when a document that has already been translated needs to be updated. OmegaT uses translation memories to store your previous translations and then suggest likely translations for the text you are currently working on. Translation memories can be very useful in a translation where there are numerous repetitions or reasonably similar segments of text. At the same time, it can use memories files from previous translations for reference. The OmegaT CAT Tool stores your translations in a translation memory file. OmegaT is a free multi-platform Computer Aided Translation tool, with the following highlights Translation memory: (from the User Manual “OmegaT 3.5 – User’s Guide” by Vito Smolej) OmegaT supports more than 30 file formats
Simultaneous processing of multiple-file projects.Files in older MS Word, Excel and Powerpoint formats can be translated following conversion to the equivalent current Microsoft Office formats, or alternatively to the Office Open XML format, which can be done in OpenOffice or LibreOffice (also free). That way you can also make sure to have the correct JRE version.įiles in Microsoft Office XML format can be translated directly in OmegaT. If you are not sure if the JRE is installed on your computer use the version that comes packaged with the JRE.
There are different versions of OmegaT available. The OmegaT CAT Tool runs on any system on which the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) has been or can be installed. The tool is intended for professional translators but it is easy enough to use, so even less experienced translators will get used to it quickly. OmegaT is a free CAT (Computer Aided Translation) tool or translation memory application (TM Tool) written in Java.
