Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Translating ODF files on Pootle

>  So, OmegaT 
Sorry, I confused the names, not Omega-T, but Okapi, for the ODF to/from 
XLIFF filters.

Lokalize, WordForge 0.8RC1 and Virtaal should be able to handle the 
XLIFF files.

Once good filters are available, they will probably be integrated in the 
different tools that can handle XLIFF. We will definitely do it for 
WordForge.

Integrating Okapi is a little complex at the moment because the filters 
are in Java, and this means integrating new dependencies or converting 
the code to Python.

The question about pictures is interesting. Editing text or culture in 
images is not something that editors will be doing in the short run (an 
image editor like Gimp is necessary), but at some point it will be 
important to be able to display pictures attached, to clarify the text.

Cheers,
