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 subdirectory.
OmegaT also backs up the translation memory to project_save.tmx.YEARMMDDHHNN.bak in the same subdirectory 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 this procedure:
project_save.tmx file to something you will remember (like project_save.tmx.temporary for example)project_save.tmxTo 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 |
