The first milestone version OmegaT+ leading up to release 1.0 is now available. Everything is in a very preliminary state, but stable enough for working with.

Please help this project along by participating in its evolution. Contributors are welcome.

Validator 1.0 RC1 has just been released. Validator replaces TMXValidator, from which it is derived. It uses a Java Swing user interface instead of SWT. Looks a little better and should work on more platforms.

Still a preliminary version, so report any problems to be fixed.

Greetings,

The OmegaT+ project is now an official member of the <a href="http://www.lisa.org">Localization Industry Standards Association (LISA)<a> and will be working towards improving TMX and other standards that they develop.

The OmegaT+ project is dedicated to the quality of localization and translation standards and free software used in these fields.

We invite all interested parties to get involved with OmegaT+ and LISA in the pursuit of common goals and welcome contributions.

The descriptive name of the project has been changed from omega t+ to OmegaT+.

The new name will give the project more visibility and is in accord with its legacy roots.
