Using OmegaT for Group Translations

First be sure to read the Translation_Instructions.

Managing Translation Memories

Read this post: [[1]]

We need to decide on how to share translations.

Possibilities:

• share them as project_save_name.tmx and share them (con: one person will have to do a final translation with everyone's translation memories)
• have a master and pass it around as a token (con: no parallel translations)
• other ideas? (let's keep it simple, though)

Common Terms

Note: By using OmegaT and sharing translation memories, technical terms should naturally stabilise (or cause a dialect war ;)).

Meanwhile, while the OmegaT/TM "standard" is happening, here is a jargon list:

English	Spanish
en-word	es-word
en-word2	es-word2
buffer	(I would not translate this)
file	To discuss archivo (Mexico at least) o fichero (spain)
