Comparison of OmegaT and Anaphraseus Translation Tools

This document is a technical report that compares two free open source translation memory tools, OmegaT and Anaphraseus. It outlines the features, advantages, and disadvantages of each software. OmegaT is described as a computer-assisted translation (CAT) tool that supports various file formats and utilizes the TMX (Translation Memory eXchange) standard for compatibility with other CAT tools. Key features of OmegaT include fuzzy matching, match propagation, and simultaneous processing of multiple-file projects. The report also highlights that OmegaT is user-customizable and supports right-to-left languages. Anaphraseus, on the other hand, is presented as an extension for OpenOffice.org that manages bilingual translation memories. It includes features such as text segmentation and terminology recognition, but it is noted to be slower than other tools when handling large files. The report concludes by suggesting that both tools are worth trying for translators looking for cost-effective solutions.
