Requirements and Installation

Requirements

Installation

To install the plugin:

  1. Create a plugins directory in the OmegaT main directory, if it does not exist yet.
  2. Copy the jar okapi directory of the distribution in the plugins directory.
  3. The next time you run OmegaT the new filters will be available.

Important: Some file formats (like XLIFF, HTML, etc.) have already native OmegaT filters. OmegaT uses the first enabled filter available. So if you want, for example, OmegaT to use the Okapi XLIFF filter rather than the native OmegaT XLIFF filter, make sure to disable (uncheck) the OmegaT native filter in the File Filters dialog (menu: Options > File Filters).

Macintosh

On Macintosh platform the main OmegaT directory is OmegaT.app/Contents/Resources/Java. You can open the directory by right-clicking OmegaT.app and selecting the command Show Package Content.

You may also have to change the default version of the Java virtual machine used to start OmegaT. To do this, open the file OmegaT.app/Contents/info.plist and replace:

<key>JVMVersion</key>
<string>1.5</string> 

By

<key>JVMVersion</key>
<string>1.8</string>

Uninstallation

To uninstall the plugin:

  1. Simply delete the okapi sub-directory from the plugins directory.
  2. The next time you run OmegaT the filters will not be available.
