Alessandro,
I have found a relatively painless way to directly translate
the .sdf
files in OmegaT. I have to finish my part now so I'll document
that later.
That sounds very interesting! I'll be waiting for it.
Indeed. I'll test your documentation as soon as it becomes
available ;-)
Ok, I just give you an outline :) because I _am_ behind schedule...
2 main ideas: 1) the translatable contents is actually surrounded by
tabs, 2) the escaped sequences are for HTML like code
from 1): opening the file in OOo after renaming it to .csv produces
something very nice to the eye
from 2): removing the relevant "\" produces strings that actually
look _like_ HTML (all the "\<" are replaced by "<", while all the "<"
not preceded by "\" are replaced by "<")
and we need a 0): the .sdf is composed of groups of 2 lines, putting
such a group on one line to have the .csv file look like 2 column
sets (one for source one for target) is trivial.
now, you copy paste the column that contains the source contents to a
text file, you add <p> at each beginning of line, you rename the
thing to .html and you load it into OmegaT.
The TMX created with po2tmx must be treated so that the code inside
the segments looks like the tags that will be produced from the
source file (namely <e0>, <a0> etc...) so just replace all the \<emph
\> etc by <e>, that way you'll only have to add the numbers
when the match is inserted.
OmegaT is smart enough to handle source segments that look like
<ahelp something very long>blabla</ahelp> and will only display
"blabla" so that you are sure the source tags are protected during
the translation etc...
That is very rough and I have not yet back converted the file (put
the "<" and "\" back where they belong), but when that is done, just
paste the translated contents into your OOo Calc target contents
column, save, put the groups back to 2 lines and deliver.
It _does_ look like an awful hack (I'd say it is borderline, on the
easy side of the line :) but it is way better than having to handle
the po in source with the half backed TMX that you get from the
po2tmx conversion. At least, OmegaT protects pretty much all the tags
and you don't need to add them to the target segment, OmegaT does
that nicely for you.
Ok, back to my last 50 lines !!!
