============== About Autshumato ==========================================

The Autshumato project was initiated by the South African Department of Arts and Culture, and developments are done by the Centre for Text Technology (CTexT®) at the North-West University (Potchefstroom Campus).

The general aim of this project is the development of open source machine-aided translation tools and resources for South African languages. The term "open source" implies that every application developed in this project is freely available to the general public. This definition also extends to the source code of every application.

The objective of establishing this project as an open source project adheres to the South African National Government's policy and strategy for open source implementation. This policy specifies that all new software developed for government should be based on open standards. Furthermore, government also encourages and supports the use of open content and open standards within South Africa.

============== INSTALL ===================================================

To install the plugin, extract all the contents of "OmegaT-plugins-AutshumatoMT.zip" file into the /plugins/ directory of your OmegaT installation.
After successful installation the /plugins/ directory should contain (at least) the following files:

/OmegaT/plugins/
- OmegaT-plugins-AutshumatoMT.jar
- OmegaT-plugins-AutshumatoMT-GPLv3License.txt
- OmegaT-plugins-AutshumatoMT-Readme.txt


============== USE =======================================================

Run OmegaT.
After OmegaT has started up, go to Options -> Machine Translate. There should now be an option to use Autshumato Translate as your machine translation provider. To do this make sure the Options -> Machine Translate -> Autshumato Translate option is checked. If this option is checked, each source segment, when activated, will be sent to the machine translation server and the translation received back from the server will be displayed in the Machine Translation window. Please note that machine translation will only be available for some language pairs. You can see which language pairs are available by checking the Autshumato Machine Translation webservice at http://mt.nwu.ac.za/. When machine translation systems are added for new language pairs they will also be available through OmegaT.

If the Menu does not contain the new menu item, the installation was not successful. Please ensure that the plugin was extracted to the correct location and that it is not contained within a subdirectory. 


============== TO BUILD ==================================================

To build the plugin, you require the complete OmegaT and Omegat-plugins-AutshumatoMT sources which are available from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/omegat/ and http://sourceforge.net/projects/autshumatoite/ respectively.
Download and extract the sources. The project was created using the NetBeans IDE 12.1 and it is recommended but not required to use the same environment.
The build uses the Apache Maven build infrastructure, and all required libraries are defined as part of the Maven pom.xml file.
