By default, OmegaT uses Sun's tokenizer to identify words. While it works for a lot of languages, it doesn't work for Chinese, which means only isolated words (not in a sentence) can be found.

To improve the result, it is possible to install a specific tokenizer.
I recommend reading Marc Prior's Howto on OmegaT tokenizers.

Once you have the plugin installed, you can use the
org.omegat.plugins.tokenizer.LuceneChineseTokenizer
tokenizer.

This should improve word recognition.

If you need further help, I recommend subscribing to the OmegaT Yahoo support group.

Your method works. However, the menu and context can not be shown properly. Nonsense characters are shown in chinese.
Do you know how OmegaT use fonts and how to change it to have it shown properly,pls? Or do something.

thanks, solved, Mar 25, 2010

Thanks, the problem is solved now.
And, here, i'd like to record it so that the next green hand can know how to deal with it.

I run the program OmegaT-tokenizers.sh under terminal. (just change the property to make it executable),doulbe click and run.
Then, i saw this under terminal:
------------------------------
18152: Info: OmegaT-2.0.5_2 (Fri Mar 26 07:11:56 CST 2010) Locale zh_CN

18152: Info: Docking Framework version: 2.1.4
18152: Info: Hunspell loaded successfully from /home/frank/OmegaT/./native/libhunspell-i386.so
18152: Info: Event: application startup (LOG_INFO_EVENT_APPLICATION_STARTUP)
--------------------------------------------

I found that the Java program OmegaT-Tokenizer use is located in the system directory /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.10/jre, but not OmegaT//lib/jre.
So,I created a folder called "fallback" under /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.10/jre/fonts/, and copied a font file called uming.ttc into it.

Restart OmegaT-tokenizers.sh, it works. Chinese are recognized and the glossary too.

Thank you,Didier. Your idea very helpful.

Maybe a font issue Mar 26, 2010

What do you call "context"? Is it the Fuzzy Matches pane?

Is this situation a result of using the tokenizer, or was it the case before?

Do you know how OmegaT use fonts and how to change it to have it shown properly,pls? Or do something.

If you are speaking of the font for the "content" (i.e., Editor, Fuzzy Matches, etc.), it can be selected in Options/Fonts...

You must select a font compatible both with your source and your target language.

For the menu, the font is selected automatically according to the user interface language used, and should always be able to display the required characters.

I have no problem here, either with zh_CN or zh_TW, with or without the tokenizer.

Again, for more detailed answers and explanations, you should go to the Yahoo support group, where you are more likely to find other users with similar configurations.
