Hello,
I have created a wiki (TranslateOnLinux) with tools for professional translators running GNU/Linux.
Comments are welcome.

| | | | | Intended readership | Apr 9, 2018 |
Many solutions mentioned in TranslateOnLinux are cross-platform or online tools, so they should work on MacOS too.
The situation may be quite similar, but it has enough differences to warrant a separate list/guide specifically targeted at translators running MacOS. Maybe someone should devise one.
If Mac users find the list useful, all the better. But the intended readership has been clearly defined: professional translators running GNU/Linux.
Let's keep it... See more Many solutions mentioned in TranslateOnLinux are cross-platform or online tools, so they should work on MacOS too.

Let's keep it that way in the rest of this thread.

| TranslateOnLinux updated | Nov 5, 2019 |
TranslateOnLinux.org has received various updates (notable changes described in the end of the online document).
Any feedback from existing or prospective GNU/Linux users is welcome.

Impressive list! Most of the agencies I work with have their own browser-based CAT requirements, so I don't have much to contribute that is Linux-specific.
The section link to Language/Grammar checkers/Writing aids is broken; it points to "#language-grammar-checkers-writing-aids" but the header's id is "languagegrammar-checkerswriting-aids". The link to Speech recognition is also broken; I suggest looking through the list, I suspect your table of contents was auto-... See more Impressive list!

The link to Speech recognition is also broken; I suggest looking through the list, I suspect your table of contents was auto-generated and tripped over special characters in your headers.
As a suggestion for productivity tools, Ibus-Typing-Booster is a good one to save time and reduce strain/RSI with word prediction. I haven't had much success getting it to play nice with Mint & Cinnamon (my current setup), but it works out of the box with Fedora (tested in a VM).

For unit conversion, I simply use DuckDuckGo as my default search engine in Firefox, so simply typing e.g. "10 mi to km" or "10 mi km" in the address bar returns DDG's conversion result. ▲ Collapse

Thank you for the feedback, Bruno
I have fixed the Table of contents issue and added ibus-typing-booster under Productivity tools selection. I will try to install it on my Ubuntu-based distro, although there is no readily available package for it.
Cheers!
Jean

This is a very exciting update! Thank you Jean.
| | | | | CafeTran Espresso's TTS feature | Nov 25, 2021 |
Another exciting update I forgot to mention is the introduction of CafeTran Espresso's Text to Speech (TTS) feature, based on Amazon Polly service. Many supported languages, both for source and target segments.
| | | |
The TOC links for "Speech recognition (STT)" and "Text-to-speech (TTS)", and possibly others, are broken
Man I wish Dragon made a Linux version. RSI isn’t getting any easier to work with.

Thanks! TOC links with parentheses don't seem to be supported in GitHub Pages. I will try to find a fix…
With MacOS and Windows offering STT out of the box (and Dragon availability), this is certainly a feature that is sorely missing in Linux…

| Swordfish etc.: binaries are not free-as-in-beer; must build yourself for free distribution/use | Nov 26, 2021 |
An important note regarding the open source status of Swordfish and other Maxprograms software: the binaries offered by the vendor are NOT free. To use and/or distribute the software for free, you need to build it yourself. The short instructions are on the Github page. Also note that the system requirements for building are not specified; in some cases, they can be much higher in terms of RAM and CPU power than those for using the software. (Not sure about this specific case.)

Hi Artem,
As I wrote, Swordfish is "open source and free [for personal] use (with optional paid subscription for binaries and support)".
It is free as in free beer, with the caveat that you still need to download the source and build the binary. But this really is not such a big deal.
The short instructions outline all the required steps to build the binaries on your (Linux) system.

The short instructions outline all the required steps to build the binaries on your (Linux) system.
I hadn't built binaries from source in a while, but I just tried it, and once I all prerequisites were met, the building itself step took 2 minutes on a modest laptop.
I will create a separate thread for this and add more details on the building process, sharing a link to it in TranslateOnLinux.
Note: The building can also be done on Windows 10/11 via WLS (Windows Subsystem for Linux), another important development in the Linux front (for Windows users).
