Anaphraseus
Anaphraseus is a computer-aided translation (CAT) tool designed as an OpenOffice.org add-on written in StarBasic. Anaphraseus aims at delivering to OpenOffice.org users functionality similar to Wordfast. Formerly, Anaphraseus was known as OpenWordfast. Anaphraseus supports fuzzy match and term recognition. More advanced features are in development. Developer: Oleg Tsygani

Download
Follow the link http://sourceforge.net/project/platformdownload.php?group_id=207409 and download the latest release.

Installation
Starting with version 1.20 beta, Anaphraseus can be downloaded in two different packages: as an OpenOffice.org extension (.oxt) or as an OpenOffice.org standalone document with macros (.odt). 1. To install the extension package (.oxt): Unpack the downloaded archive (Anaphraseus_ext_*.*.zip) to any place of your choice. Go to Tools -> Extension Manager (also called Package Manager in some OOo builds) and add the extension (Anaphraseus_*.*.oxt) to " My Packages" . Windows users can also install the extension simply by clicking on the .oxt file. After the installation is complete, restart OpenOffice.org to see the Anaphraseus menu and toolbar. 2.

Working with glossaries

When a segment opens, recognized terms (if a glossary is used) are highlighted with dark blue background: To select the next or previous term, press Alt+Left or Alt+Right respectively. The selected term will be double-underlined: To insert translation for the selected term, press Alt+Ins.

To edit a glossary, use a text editor. To apply changes, you' ll have to restart Anaphraseus (reload anaphraseus.odt).
