New fun to come with OmegaT 2.5...

OmegaT 2.5, the preview version that you can get from:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/omegat/files/OmegaT%20-%20Latest/

includes a really nice new feature that, unfortunately, is not yet available for Mac users...

(Nov. 10 update: the latest version of the plugin works fine on Mac now)


If it is not, then you can rightly ask why bother mentioning it here at all ? Well, the answer is simple. It is kind of available, but because of an user interface design issue, the buttons that make it run are not available on Mac... This is going to be fixed real soon. In the meanwhile, get ready for...

A scripting interface to OmegaT's internals.
