Use computer-aided translation tools to manage the translation

[xulihang]

Hi,

Have you tried using computer-aided translation tools to manage the translation, like OmegaT and BasicCAT? The latter is written in B4J. I think this can help the translation process.

Computer-aided translation tools have many features. For example, it has a glossary function. I found that you've translated "cast" into "铸件". I think this is a term that should be added to the glossary and I think "类型转换" is a better translation for "cast"

Thanks. Can you guide me how to use these tools?

[xulihang]

They all have detailed documentation.

I need to get API key from the translation engine right?

[xulihang]

Right. There are also engines without the need of keys and google translate can also be used without one.

[pyhoon]

OK, let me try.

I installed BasicCAT and try to use it but still don't understand how to make it work. Google translate or any machine required a key parameter. I am not sure which API and key to use. No translation is displayed.

In Preferences, enable Google without api key.

When switching to a new segment, it will display the translation.

There is a learning curve to mastering CAT tools. You can also try SDL Trados, which is a commercial one with rich tutorials.

I don't find it in BasicCAT version 1.10.3

I see. I didn't pack it in the installer. You can find it here: https://github.com/xulihang/BasicCAT/releases/download/plugins/all_plugins.zip. By the way, the source code exists here: https://github.com/xulihang/BasicCAT/tree/master/plugins/googlewithoutapikeyMT

Put googlewithoutapikeyMTPlugin.jar and googlewithoutapikeyMTPlugin.xml in BasicCAT's plugins folder.
