[Freecats-Dev] OOxlate - a (very simple) CAT tool for OpenOffice

[Dan Urist]

I just stumbled across this list a couple of days ago. The TM server 
sounds like a great project, and I'd love to contribute in any way I 
can. My background is mostly Perl, but lately I've been playing around 
with OpenOffice a fair bit.

I've been working on a very simple CAT tool in OpenOffice Basic as a pet 
project for my wife, who is a freelance French->English translator and 
interpreter. I should point out that I am NOT in any way an expert on 
translation software (in fact, I'm pretty much monolingual), and that 
this software is crude, simplistic, shamefully badly written (at least 
the Basic part; there's a perl backend as well) and is currently alpha 
quality... but it mostly works, as far as it goes, and the design 
dovetails with the client/server architecture that's been discussed on 
this list. It currently runs on Linux (which is all I have to test on), 
but should run on windows with a little bit of tweaking. If anyone wants 
to give it a look, you can get it from http://translatewrite.com
