[Solved] Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Advice on translating large Odt documents

Hi :)  

Thanks Sophie and Milos! :)  That neatly solves the whole problem for me.  


If i do have further problems i might ask about them separately but, for me, this case is closed 
already! :D
Many thanks and regards from 

Tom :)

Hi Tom,

We've just successfully passed a proof-of-the-concept testing of 
translating the LO guides using OmegaT. It works, even in a team setup 
in which the translators share translation memory over a subversion (or 
git) repository.

The only problem we have encountered (and solved) is oversegmentation of 
translation segments owing to direct formatting. Even words were split 
by this, making translation nearly impossible. We had to remove the 
formatting (replaced by styles)  and then had to clean the files by a 
script (which removed all direct formatting). The script is available 
(but it is not an enterprise grade one :)
I've written to this list about that some days ago.
