OmegaT HowTo:
Setting up MS Translator on Mac
- Log into Microsoft Azure Marketplace:
http://datamarket.azure.com/
*If you do not already have an Azure Marketplace account you will need to register one first.
- Click on the My Account option at the top of the page.
- Near the bottom you will see entries and values for:
Primary Account Key
Customer ID
Primary Account Key = microsoft.api.client_secret (needed to configure your Microsoft Translator access)
Customer ID = microsoft.api.client_id (needed to configure your Microsoft Translator access)
- Go to your Applications directory (or wherever you have your installation of OmegaT stored on your Mac), right click/cmd+click/two-finger tap on the OmegaT executable and select "View package contents".
- Click on the Contents folder and make a backup/copy/duplicate of your info.plist file.
- Open your info.plist file in your favourite text editor and locate the Properties section.
- Here you will add entries for your Azure Marketplace Primary Account Key and Customer ID values (remember that microsoft.api.client_id = your Azure Marketplace Customer ID and microsoft.api.client_secret = your Azure Marketplace Primary Account Key):
<key>Properties</key>
<dict>
<key>apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar</key>
<string>true</string>
<key>apple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz</key>
<string>true</string>
--> <key>microsoft.api.client_id</key>
--> <string>A1234-5678-1234-5678-12345678901</string>
--> <key>microsoft.api.client_secret</key>
--> <string>AaBb1234CcDd5678aAbBcCdD1234eEfFgGhH1234</string>
</dict>
***PLEASE NOTE: The above arrows are for illustration purposes ONLY. Do NOT include these in your actual entries.
- Once you have made the above entries, double check that the values are correct and then save and close your info.plist file.
- Launch OmegaT and enable the MS Translator option:
Options > Machine Translate ... and select the options you would like to turn on.
- Begin using OmegaT.
