I have a number of DocBook v.4.3 documents (XML) to translate.
So far, I have tried Deja Vu X2 and OmegaT 2.3.0.

The customer asks if I can translate a 'filtered' text (e.g., User Guide) with my CAT tool and then apply the TM to the 'unfiltered' text (which combines multiple manuals) ... See more

The customer asks if I can translate a 'filtered' text (e.g., User Guide) with my CAT tool and then apply the TM to the 'unfiltered' text (which combines multiple manuals) to pre-translate it and get the translated user guide portions in proper places. So the resulting sentences must be a mixture of original and translated portions (words, phrases...). Do you think this is at all possible?

Thank you!

You can translate your DocBook files with Swordfish.

You may use <oXygen> to combine the external fragments referenced in the main files into a merged DocBook document.

Regards,
Rodolfo

Thank you, Rodolfo! Mar 28, 2012

In the end, it was decided to translate right in the XML editor that the original had been created in.
