This is a follow-up to the discussions about Google Translate and Translator Toolkit.
One of the problems that quickly arises in discussions about it is that this software is not Free-as-in-Freedom. The Translator Toolkit website is not too complicated, so it's not very important whether it's Free or not, but the stored translations belong to Google and are used by Google to improve their non-Free services. I don't mind Google making money out of my translation efforts, but i am less happy about the fact that, unless i am missing something, the stored translated strings can only be read by Google. Sometimes i will actually want to give up on my privacy and publish the sentence pairs and make them useful to researchers. (And if it is possible to enforce them to use it only in Free software, all the better.) Is there a Free competitor to the Google Translator Toolkit in terms of online storage and sharing? I heard about OmegaT, but if i understand correctly, it is a local application that doesn't offer online storage and sharing - but correct me if i'm wrong. Are there any other Free-minded translation memory services? -- אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי Amir Elisha Aharoni http://aharoni.wordpress.com "We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace." - T.
