OmegaT is a robust application. However, you should take precautions
against data loss when using OmegaT, just as with any other application. When
you translate your files, OmegaT stores all your progress in translation
memory project_save.tmx
that resides in the project's
/omegat
subfolder.
OmegaT also backs up the translation memory to
project_save.tmx.YEARMMDDHHNN.bak
in the same subfolder every
time when a project is opened or reloaded. YEAR
is 4-digit year,
MM
is a month, DD
day of the month, HH
and NN
are hours and minutes when the previous translation
memory was saved.
If you think you have lost translation data follow the procedure below which will restore the project to its most recently saved state, in most cases within 10 minutes of the most recent modifications:
project_save.tmx
file to something you
will remember (like project_save.tmx.temporary
for
example)project_save.tmx
To avoid losing important data:
/omegat/project_save.tmx
to backup media, such as CD or DVD./source
whilst in the middle of a project. If the source file
is modified after you have begun translating, OmegaT may be unable to find
a segment that you have already translated.Legal notices | Home | Index of contents |
