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

Hi :)
Pull the other one, it's got bells on ;)

Thanks for the suggestion though.  I think Machine Translators might be a good tool as part of the 
translation process but they miss a lot of the nuances and subtleties that a human would pick-up on 
and have no idea of contexts and associations certain phrases have within different cultures.  

Thanks for the idea though Anne-ology :)  OmegaT sounds like the main tool i was looking for.  
Regards from 
Tom :)

& found the translations were good.

       Actually, I've been pleased with all of FireFox's add-ons (although
I must admit I've only used a mere handful compared to all they seem to
have and/or produce.)

Hi :)
Sorry, this is a bit off-topic for this list but it seems to be the only
place that might have relevant experience and expertise about this issue.

Are there any good tools to help people translate fairly large documents
produced by LibreOffice.  There is a group that has some Odt files of up to
60 pages per "chapter" and those chapters get combined to form books of
300-600 pages.

At the moment their only way of translating them means they can't access
most of the tools you folks use and it's difficult to find a good work-flow
too.

Does anyone here translate office documents or books and have any good
suggestions for tools and/or work-flow?
Regards from
Tom :)
