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?
... Thinking out loud / replying to myself -
translatewiki.net comes
very close, but people are used to think about it as a tool for
translating software messages and not for translating general texts.
Maybe it can be adopted to that.
Apertium:
http://www.apertium.org/
I know that Apertium is a Free translation engine originally centered
around Catalan and Spanish and later enhanced to other languages.
Correct, though our range of languages is a lot larger and more diverse :)
FWIW, one of our most heavily-used language pairs is Norwegian Nynorsk-
Bokmål, and a large portion of that use is by Wikipedia contributors.
I
tried to look for a translation memory storage service at its website
and didn't find anything. So, unless i am missing something, this
project is probably using translation memory internally, but i can't
find a way to upload my pairs of translated texts there.
Correct. We don't currently provide a way to add your own translation
memory via the website -- the feature is available if you install the
software locally (apt-get install apertium on Debian and Ubuntu), or via
Tradubi (
http://www.tradubi.com). A GSoC student is working on a web-
based post-editing environment, so the feature may become available from
the Apertium site in the future.
For the moment, if you want a web-based environment, with the ability to
add and create your own translation memory, use Tradubi.
(Having studied Catalan pretty well, i really should
take a better look
at Apertium in any case.)
All contributions welcome :)
