OmegaT latest version 3.0.5 released

OmegaT latest version 3.0.5 was released.

This release is focused on productivity, with 10 enhancements and 5 bug fixes.

The auto-completer, introduced in 3.0.1, has new views, allowing to insert symbols and specific Unicode characters, and to complete abbreviations.

Entries from the writeable glossary are now displayed in bold in the glossary pane and listed first in TransTips. In addition, the glossary pane no more scrolls to the bottom.

When a project is in paragraph mode, and no matches are found, OmegaT now tries to create a match by combining existing translation of sentences.

The MyMemory machine translator has been separated into two different options: MyMemory (machine) and MyMemory (human).

The QA script (check_rules.groovy) now checks for double blanks, which can contain either normal spaces or non-breaking spaces.

If there is no preference file (omegat.prefs) in the configuration folder, i.e., OmegaT has never been launched and quit, and there is one in the installation folder, OmegaT will read preferences from that file. That allows distributing a version with customised pre-defined options.

The match statistics were based purely on the leftmost percentage, without taking into account which matches are really selected to go into the fuzzy match pane. This could lead to situation where the statistics and what is seen in the fuzzy match pane was significantly different. The statistics are now using an algorithm giving consistent result with the match pane. The percentage kept is, however, still the rightmost one. As the computation method is different, all match statistics will give different results compared with the previous version.

The Interlingua localisation was updated, including full documentation.

The OmegaT Project always welcomes developers, localisers and users to contribute their experience, knowledge and insights to the software we release.
