Hello everybody!
I am wondering if anybody know how to get this feature work in linux (I have Ubuntu 12.10 installed), as there is a guide for MacOS users only on OmT web-page.
Thanx in advance.

| What problem do you have? | Jan 15, 2013 |
I used to use OmegaT on Ubuntu, and don't remember any special issues. Did you have a problem? Many people on the OmegaT yahoo list use Linux, notably Marc Prior, the list owner.

Hello Susan!
Problem lies in enabling Microsoft Translator feature. I can check this option in Machine Translation menu, I have registered in Azure marketpalce and got Primary Account Key and Customer ID required for MS translator API working. But I have no idea where should I input these data in OmT. Or maybe I have to launch OmT using a special script, but I don't know its content. That's what I need to know.
Thanx

I have no idea. You got farther than I did with Azure Marketplace, etc. I doubt that this has anything in particular to do with Linux. Maybe somebody else will answer you here. Otherwise, try the yahoo users' group, http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/OmegaT , which gets more attention from developers.

Everything needed to launch OmegaT with Google Translate applies to Microsoft Translator. The only difference are the parameters.
For Google, it's:
-Dgoogle.api.key=123456789abcdef
For Microsoft, it's
-Dmicrosoft.api.client_id=yourkey -Dmicrosoft.api.client_secret=123456789abcdef
So, basically, you can launch OmegaT with
java -jar -Dmicrosoft.api.client_id=yourkey -Dmicrosoft.api.client_secret=123456789abcdef OmegaT.jar
(everything on the same line)

Thank you, Didider!
Using your information I have edited the OmegaT launching script (I am using the latest OmegaT 2.6.1_2)
Now it has the following content
#!/bin/bash
# readlink follows any symbolic links to get the real file
REALOMEGATPATH=`dirname $(readlink -nf $0)`
"${REALOMEGATPATH}/jre/bin/java" -jar -Xmx512M -Dmicrosoft.api.client_id=Customer_ID -Dmicrosoft.api.client_secret=Primary_Account_Key "${REALOMEGATPATH}/OmegaT.ja... See more Thank you, Didider!

"${REALOMEGATPATH}/jre/bin/java" -jar -Xmx512M -Dmicrosoft.api.client_id=Customer_ID -Dmicrosoft.api.client_secret=Primary_Account_Key "${REALOMEGATPATH}/OmegaT.jar" $*
where one should change Customer_ID and Primary_Account_Key which are personal Primary Account Key and Customer ID available at Azure Marketplace account page after registration
I am sure, if one need to do the same in Windows, one can edit the OmegaT.bat file and change its content to the following:
java -jar -Dmicrosoft.api.client_id=Customer_ID -Dmicrosoft.api.client_secret=Primary_Account_Key OmegaT.jar %*
I have no possibility to check this out, but I think it will work. If one can and wants to try this please let us know. It will be very helpful for other collegues as there is a lack of such information.
Regards,
Oleksandr

| Under Windows, the information is in OmegaT.l4J.ini | Jan 15, 2013 |

There's no need to. Under Windows, one just edits OmegaT.l4J.ini, where the parameters are pre-configured:
# Microsoft Translator credentials
#-Dmicrosoft.api.client_id=xxxxx
#-Dmicrosoft.api.client_secret=xxxxx
It does work (I had to test it before releasing the version).
