OmegaT Fake MT

OmegaT FakeMT plugin

This plugin let you add a custom remote Machine Translator. You can configure four parameters in the MT configuration window.

• URL: the URL to connect to
• source: The name of the source parameter that will take the source language.
• target: The name of the target parameter that will take the target language.
• source: The name of the text parameter that will take the content of the segment to be translated.

GET ${url}?${source}=en-US&${target}=fr-FR&${text}=Hello World!

Caveat

There are currently several limitations, for this plugin:

• only one custom MT can be used,
• the HTTP method used is always GET
• the expected response is in JSON with the schema {"translation": "Hello World!"}
• When changing the name of the MT, the changes are effective after restarting the application
