OmegaT 6.1: How I Fix Word Export Errors Every Time
|
I learned that OmegaT-to-Word export problems are usually not because OmegaT destroys a document, but because Word files are complex .docx archives made of XML that OmegaT rebuilds using inline tags to preserve formatting. From my experience, the most important lesson is that those tags are not clutter; they are what keep the Word file structurally intact, so deleting, moving, or misplacing them can corrupt the exported file or scramble the formatting. I also see OmegaT 6.1 as a worthwhile release because it brings Java 21+ support, native Apple Silicon and ARM Linux builds, improved spell checking, LanguageTool 6.5, better packaging, and important bug fixes, but I know those upgrades do not eliminate the common causes of Word export failure. When an export fails, I first work out whether the file is truly broken or whether Word is simply blocking it, usually by opening it in LibreOffice; if LibreOffice opens it, I treat the issue as a Word trust, location, filename, or Protected View problem, but if it fails there too, I go back to OmegaT and check the tags. My routine is to clean messy Word source files before translating, keep filenames simple, preserve every tag exactly, avoid the Remove Tags option for Word files, run OmegaT’s tag and issue checks before export, export to a plain local folder, close Word before generating the target file, and always keep the original source file so I can regenerate the document without re-translating anything.

The Inevitable Place of CAT Tools in Modern Translation
|
This article addresses the crucial role of computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools in the context of the modern translation industry. It defines CAT tools, states the distinction between CAT tools and machine translation, and describes the features that can optimize consistency, productivity, quality, and collaboration. The paper goes on to explore the benefits for the translator and the client partners (e.g., time to deliver, branding consistency, and long-term costs saved). Finally, it speculates on the future of CAT tools with artificial intelligence and underscores the need to preserve the human element for context and cultural alignment.
