OmegaT 4.1.2 is the new latest version of OmegaT, with 12 enhancements and 7 bug fixes.

Any bilingual files (in a format supported by OmegaT) can now be used as a translation memory in the /tm folder. This applies to OmegaT bilingual formats (PO and Mozilla .lang files) but also to the Okapi Filters plugin bilingual formats such as XLIFF (it requires version 1.3-m32 and above of the plugin).

The PO filter can now use real fuzzy matches when they are provided. Previously, only “fake” fuzzy matches with an arbitrary percentage of 60% were used.

These first two features were made possible through donations.

The Issues window now allows glossary-based terminology checking. The glossary preferences (Use terms appearing separately in the source text and Use stemming for glossary entries) are used when computing matching or missing terms.

It is now possible to translate target URLs in all Microsoft Office documents.

There’s a new filter for WebVTT captions ( *.vtt ).

The Scripting window now contains an Open Manu and a Help menu with a link to OmegaT Javadoc. The /scripts/readme.txt file contains links to OmegaT Javadoc, Groovy and EcmaScript language references.

A new script, extract_text_content.groovy, allows exporting all strings of the project to a single text file.

The MyMemory translation engine was improved. An API key can be set in the configuration to return matches from private TMs. If MyMemory (machine) is used and no translation is provided, the best human match is returned.

Google Translate was in text mode, which didn’t work best for tags. It has been reverted to HTML mode.

The Italian and Norwegian localisations were updated.

The OmegaT Project always welcomes developers, localisers and users to contribute their experience, knowledge and insights to the software we release.
