Capítulo 10. gtranslator

Según la FAQ de gtranslator [38]

«UMTF» is a quite effective translation memory format currently used by gtranslator.

What is this learn buffer you're talking so often?

R:.

The «learn buffer» is the gtranslator specific implementation of a «translation» to help translators easyfying their work by translating always re-occuring messages with already learned and saved translations. gtranslator's learn buffer is a quite simple but effective kind of translation memory in the UMTF XML format.

After learning some of your already well translated po files you can simply use the auto translating capabilities of gtranslator to perform a good level of auto translation for already in the learn buffer saved message & translation pairs. A learn buffer just makes your life as a translator much easier as if you did build up a quite normal-sized (effectively 300+ KB) learn buffer gtranslator performs an auto translation level of ca. 15 %.

P:.

Will gtranslator support enhanced translation memories (in formats like TMX/OpenTag)?

R:.

Surely it will; support of translation memories is one of the biggest TODO's for future gtranslator releases. OpenTag support will occur surely one day, TMX also, but I think the order might be so that we would integrate first OpenTag and then TMX — but we will do it.

Este punto podemos actualizarlo con una referencia al archivo de la lista , hilo ‘gtranslator, learn buffer etc.’ que se inicia el 16 de enero de 2003 (y que continúa una conversación privada entre kabalak, Ismael Olea y Juan Rafael Fernández). Puede consultarse en https://listas.hispalinux.es/pipermail/lucas-desarrollo/2003-January/000256.html . En él kabalak pide consejo sobre qué formatos de TM implementar y si hacerlo de forma nativa o simplemente la capacidad de importar y exportar los formatos estándar. Nosotros le hablamos de la necesidad de adoptar los estándares abiertos, del mismo modo que la industria ha comprendido que son necesarios. La conclusión de kabalak es esta:

I think I'll code for a UMTF-backboned gtranslator further on but with support for Opentag and TMX which is also somehow included in gtranslator's code (good news in this field, as the TMX and OpenTag fields are "very easy" to handle as XML files…)
