Moses Connector for OmegaT

This is a plugin to allow OmegaT to source machine translations from Moses, an open-source statistical machine translation package.

This plugin talks to mosesserver over XML-RPC.

The functionality provided by this plugin is built into OmegaT 4.1.3u2 and later. Please uninstall the plugin if you are using this version or later.

Usage

In order to make use of this plugin, you must have access to an instance of mosesserver.

1. Download the JAR from releases and place it into one of the OmegaT plugins folders.

2. Provide OmegaT with the URL for your mosesserver instance by adding the following argument to your OmegaT launch script:

   -Dmoses.server.url=http://your.moses.instance
   

   If you are running mosesserver locally, the address will probably be http://localhost:8080/RPC2.

3. In OmegaT, enable Options > Machine Translate > Moses. Translations will appear in the Machine Translation pane.

Building

1. From the top level of the distribution run mvn install.

2. From the target folder, copy omegat-moses-mt-*-jar-with-dependencies.jar to one of the OmegaT plugin folders.
