The correction can be performed by standard OpenOffice tools. After you finished translation, you can give the document for correction.You always have the source and target contexts before your eyes, which improves the quality of your work.You do not need to switch always between the documents (source and target).The some of advantages of such approach are:

My macro just creates a two column table, where in the first column you get the source text segmented by sentence, each sentence in a cell, and in the second column you can put your translated sentences, each one in opposite cells to the source sentences. It is not a CAT (Computer Aided Translation) tool, for such, please take a look to Anaphraseus extension or OmegaT project. To print one or more header rows on each page when printing, see Printing rows or columns on every page and Using print ranges.Translation Table is the simple macro aimed to help translators in their work. The checkmark by Freeze will vanish.įreezing cells changes the way that the cells are displayed on the screen. To unfreeze rows or columns, select Window > Freeze. Now as you scroll around the screen everything above and to the left of these lines will remain in view. You will see two lines appear on the screen, a horizontal line above this cell and a vertical line to the left of this cell. Click into the cell that is immediately below the row you want frozen and immediately to the right of the column you want frozen.Click on the header for the row below where you want the freeze or for the column to the right of where you want the freeze.Ī dark line will appear to indicate where the freeze is put.You can set the freeze point at one row, one column, or both a row and a column as in Figure 10.
