I feel I still ought to warn you from my own 
experience.

Yes, OmegaT is, /de facto/, the only serious 
tool of description available open-sourcely (and 
not tied-in into some specific context).

However, OmegaT's automation may covertly 
skew/corrupt the result when working with object 
having complicated structure, as I learned to my 
own detriment when trying to apply OT to the LO 
PO files set.

I believe the root reason for that is 
segment-based translation for which OT was 
initially created. This is from memory so there 
are no more details.

I understand you'll translate (monolithic) LO 
documents so you'll likely be okay, but still, 
beware. :) Backup early etc. :)
