It is difficult to work with bi-columned files. If you open a sdlxiff, using a filter, you can't see what is already translated in the file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A good basic help in simple translations"
3.5/5
What do you like best about OmegaT?

You can set up your projects quickly and use *.odt files.

The standard line-by-line translation is more or less sufficient but sometimes breaks longer sentences, especially if they use different formatting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OmegaT?

The complicated plugin settings. I usually end up not using any extensions and wasting the theoretical power of this tool.

It's difficult to get used to the interface and OmegaT's mechanism of work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Nifty and powerful multiplatform translation tool"
5/5
What do you like best about OmegaT?

I've been a SDL Trados user for many years, since I decided, together with my business partner, to move to open-source software. OmegaT is a very stable program: I've been using it for many years and I've experienced just 2 or 3 crashes, mainly caused by lack of resources of my system. OmegaT is very fast, with lots of advanced features. The greatest proof of appreciation is the fact that I've based my professional life on it. I use it on a daily basis to earn my living as a technical translator. A key feature for me and my company is the "team project" feature, that allows several translators to work together on a project in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OmegaT?

In a word: nothing. Of course there are a few missing features, such as a "status" field for each translation unit, but I know from the user forum that they're working on it. New versions are regularly released, so it's quite likely that in a few months from now the software will be even more complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
