OmegaT is a libre cross-platform Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tool. Apertium can be used in OmegaT to provide translation suggestions for segments in a project.

Using the built-in plugin (recommended)[edit]

OmegaT comes with a plugin that, by default, connects to https://apertium.org to retrieve translations via API. If you need a pair that does not have a stable release or a more updated version of a pair, the API endpoint can be changed in Options > Preferences > Machine Translation > Apertium to one that better suits your needs:

Offline usage[edit]

If you want to use Apertium offline, either with pairs installed via packaging or with compiled pairs, you can also run Apertium-apy on your computer and set the endpoint to http://localhost:2327 (change the port if necessary).

Using Apertium OmegaT Native[edit]

On Windows and macOS, Apertium OmegaT Native can be used to install Apertium-core and nightly version of pairs for offline use.

Using Apertium-OmegaT[edit]

Apertium-OmegaT is a plugin built on top of lttoolbox-java that allows using certain pairs offline without the need to install Apertium.
