(fast rewind to an hypothetical beginning when things were not so hot)
Is there a practical worflow that allows to efficiently use the 70,000
segments in the TMX files, as well as the 25,000 entries in SUN GLOSS
with the provided PO files ?
Can teams who use PO describe how they work with TMX and glossaries to
re-use all the previously translated contents and ensure glossary
terms are properly used ?
I'd really like to know myself how people translate with the current
workflow as I feel we're missing something.
In the Italian community we're currently translating most of our files
directly on Pootle which may be considered a good translation workflow
management system but a very poor translation editor.
So far we've tried different solutions:
- we downloaded the PO files and tried to translate them with OmegaT but
we had problems with the TMX matching and with the reconversion to SDF
(gsicheck errors);
- we extracted XLIFF files from Pootle and tried to translate them with
the OLT Editor but the tool didn't even open them as it considered the
XLIFF files not well formed;
- we converted the PO files using the OLT Filters, it worked, but then
it proved so slow in handling the TM that we had to give up on that;
- we translated some of our content with poEdit but that editor is as
poor as Pootle from this point of view (no TM and no glossary).
So far I find the method for translating SDF files proposed by
Jean-Cristophe the best way to work on the translation but it seems to
be not compatible with Pootle which we are using as well. What we, as
translators, really need is a method to translate effectively using TM
and glossaries just like we do in the professional world. OmegaT would
have it all: a glossary extracted from SunGloss can easily be converted
for the tool and the OmegaT TM engine works very well... but then,
obviously, we need a TM that matches the content to be translated.
Ale.
