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.

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.)

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?
