OMEGAT(1)

📦 version 3.6.0.11, in debian bookworm, debian trixie, ubuntu jammy, ubuntu noble, ubuntu resolute, ubuntu stonking

💖 OMEGAT 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual page for omegat, and honestly? it's short and sweet and we're gonna have the best time. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

omegat — Computer Assisted Translation (CAT) tool

no cap, that's the whole name section. iconic.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

omegat

that's it. that's the whole invocation. no flags, no args, just vibes and a single command. 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so this manual page documents briefly the omegat command. brief. tiny. a little snack of a manpage.

here's the tea: this manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. not one. it simply has documentation in the html format instead — see below for where to find it. 🙈

and now for the plot twist: omegat is actually a wrapper. it launches sun's java implementation and loads OmegaT's class. OmegaT itself is a program that assists translators by maintaining a translation memory. so you're not running OmegaT directly, you're running the lil wrapper that wakes up java and hands it OmegaT's class. the way that works is lowkey elegant. ✨

💜 OPTIONS 💜

There are no documented options.

that's right bestie, zero. no flags, no --help-and-chill, nothing documented. your main character move is just running the thing.

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

  • java (1).

The programs are documented fully by the OmegaT User Manual available via the OmegaT help system.

On Debian systems, the documentation can also be found in /usr/share/doc/omegat/html.

so if you want the full lore, that's where you go. iykyk. 📚

and that's a wrap, bestie! 🫶 this page lives in the General Commands Manual, and the footer just says OMEGAT(1) right back at you — no version number, no date, just the name doing a lil mirror selfie at the bottom of the page. slay. 💖✨
