2012/7/8 Per Tunedal <[1][email protected]> Well, I mixed it up even more: I actually thought of Apertium-tolk. I want a simple interface without all the information in Apertium-viewer. Hey, to me it smells very much like the 'very simple example client application for the desktop' that Mikel will do... is actually a java version of [2]http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Apertium-tolk :-) Excellent! as an OmegaT user I cannot but agree. In vain I have tried to install Apertium Server to call it from OmegaT. An easy way to use translations from Apertium in OmegaT would be welcome. (This installation is on a separate old box running Debian server.) Thank you for your feedback!! As technicians and programmers we very often overlook the problems that non-programmers can run into. There is way too little of you, our users, that posts about their problems on the list. It's a pleasure to contribute. There is a great interest in an offline solution because professional translators translate confidential texts, that cannot be sent to e.g. Google Translate. Some have managed to set up a local server running Apertium. Some kind of plug-in would be a much more appropriate solution. Aaah... got it. Would those professional translators actually pay for the work involved in providing easy to install offline solutions ? ;-) That would give some extra long-term possibilies. For example to look at those pairs that cannot run in pure Java but depend on external stuff. Well, yes indeed, I think so. The OmegaT developers usually develop features they need themselves or get paid for. There are some recent examples of new features introduced after some private negotiations between a user and a developer. The procedure starts by a feature request at the list. A developer then answers that it's possible and asks the user to contact him in private. Feel free to explore the opportunities. The usual contacts between users and developers are made by the user fouum/mailing list: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/omegat/ But, keep in mind what Jimmy O'Regan kindly pointed out: "they should probably make a separate 'Local Apertium' plugin, to not annoy the OmegaT developers :) " To be technical (sorry): Apart from the Java solutions we are working on now I could imagine that we could do a virtual Linux machine (started from VirtualBox) with all language pairs and apertium services etc correctly installed which you could use locally. And reach the translations from OmegaT?? I have my self such a virtual Debian installation on a Windows box, but it's of no use for OmegaT.
