Plugins

Plugins that we have, and plugins that would be nice to have for Apertium.

Completed

• OpenOffice (code)

• API that mimics the API of Google Translate: implemented as part of the Google Summer of Code 2009 projects, see Apertium services
  • Used in:
    • Virtaal, a Computer-Aided Translation tool mainly for gettext/po-files
    • OmegaT (2.0 or later), a standalone Computer-Aided Translation tool
    • Anaphraseus, a Computer-Aided Translation extension for OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice
    • Okapi, a framework and toolset for handling translation projects
    • …

• Wordpress
  • Transposh supports Apertium as of 0.7.0, see http://transposh.org/version-0-7-0-the-future-of-translation-interface/

• Gaupol, see Translating subtitles

• Apertium-OmegaT

In progress

• X-Chat plugin (code)
• Pidgin
  • old version: https://sourceforge.net/p/apertium/svn/HEAD/tree/trunk/apertium-tools/pidgin-apertium/
  • new version by Sbalbp: https://github.com/Sbalbp/Pidgin_Translator_Plugin using Apy (either local or running on someone else's machine)
• Wordpress
  • by xavi (code, some documentation)
  • Transposh plugin can apparantly also use Apertium

Requested

• A plugin for subtitle editors.

We have Apertium Subtitles, but instead of making our own subtitle editor it's more feasible to make an Apertium plugin for high-quality existing subtitle editors, like http://jubler.org/. It would be easy - perhaps 1—2 day's work - to add Apertium support for http://jubler.org/. See discussion and coding advice on [here] and [here].

• Automated export to mobile dictionaries.

We have Apertium-tinylex and it's fine. Yet, there are many much more developed mobile dictionary applications available, such as Omnidic - http://www.openmobiledictionary.com/ (really cool! — source at http://code.google.com/p/omnidic/source/list). The task would be to add program tools and set up scripts needed for exporting Apertium bilingual dictionaries to other platforms, i.a. omnidic, and add to f.eks. [1].
