This page provides downloads of scripts that I have produced mainly for my own use in conjunction with OmegaT, together with brief descriptions.
OmegaT launcher
The OmegaT launcher is a small utility with graphical user interface for launching OmegaT on Linux or Windows. The launcher is particularly convenient when OmegaT functions are needed/desired that require OmegaT to be launched on the command line with relevant arguments. It also provides some useful tools for testing and troubleshooting. The tcl/tk script requires tcl/tk 8.6 or higher to be installed on your system.
Functions of the OmegaT launcher include:
- Selection of default/alternative Java installations, OmegaT installations, configuration files, project to be opened automatically after launch
- Memory assignment
- Connectivity settings, e.g. for Team Projects
- Login data for online machine translation
- GUI settings, including look and feel
- Alternative OmegaT scripting engines
- Display of the launch command
- Saving the launch command as a script
- Launch feedback log
