Impossible to download extension:
this is what I got "Not Found
The requested URL /wiki/images/b/bc/OOTranslator-0.1alpha.oxt was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.17 (Ubuntu) Server at code.indictranstech.com Port 80"

The problem with this add-on is that it does not work any longer. I cannot get any text translated into any language, and that would be more or less it! If you know what's going on and can help somehow, pls do!

HI..Time and time again, trying to install this nice extension fails.
The install begins for OpenOffice 3.2 properly then crashes with a box
Add Extension(s):
C:\Users\ME\AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice.org\3\user\uno_packages\cache\uno_packages\9F2.tmp_\OOTranslator-0.1alpha/oxt does not exist.
Now, this is not fun.
Back to nearly command line thrills.
The ONLY way to get around this annoying roadblock is to manually drill down through all those normally hidden layers of system folders and PUT the stupid file into a new folder you make called \9F2.tmp_
The best part of this is because the text notice in the box is not selectable, you must type all that exciting garbage by hand...AGAIN
I love the extension and have used it before, but every time there is a bug and I have to "repair" Open Office using the repair function, it acts like this was never there and I have to start over again from scratch.
This is more than a little annoying.
WHAT IS THE SENSIBLE WORK AROUND, PLEASE?
Thanks...

Hi there

Agreed to other posts here, a good idea and add-on but I have to ask, if this uses the Google Translate library as a back end then why is my country's one language not available in you plug-in, namely Afrikaans. I can translate directly on Google Translate from English to Afrikaans, and the other way around, but with your plug-in, I cannot do this, as the Afrikaans language choice is missing. I have also checked in both OpenOffice.Org 3 (v3.1.1), and the one we use OxygenOffice 3 (v3.1.1 a added on full featured version of OpenOffice), for the Afrikaans language, thesaurus and spellchecker, which is present, thinking that this might have been the limitation, or the cause of the language being missing in the plug-in.

I would appreciate it if you could look into this and possibly fix it, then I along with many of my countrymen could find this a very useful tool from within OpenOffice and not use our browser.

Exellent Tool
-please make that the tool remember the chosen languages, its faster and most users are working in the same languages for most of there documents
-placing the translated text as a copy of the source would also be handy

Thanks

with ubuntu 8.04 and OO 2.4, I get the error
could not create java implementation loader
halfway during the extension installation process.

Tried all the workaround suggested above and here
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Extensions_trouble_shooting

to no avail. Suggestions?

I had the "could not create java implementation loader" error message appearing halfway through the progress bar when installing the extension on Ubuntu 8.10 with OOo 2.4.
Installing the openoffice.org-java-common package fixed the problem (sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-java-common).

I have also been told that with OOo 3, removing the ~.openoffice.org directory might help.

Apart from that, thank you for the extension, it has been very useful so far. One problem though is that it consistently breaks formatting. It would be great to have the extension automatically detect formatting and only send little pieces of text at a time (with the same formatting) to Google Translate, so that replacing little pieces in the text is done atomically and doesn't break the format.

Thanks,

Ricardo and Yannick

I get the googletranslate menu, but the "Translator" menu item is grayed out. The "Translator" button/toolbar is also grayed and unclickable. Am I missing something?

Is it under a menu, or do I select the text and right click, or what?
Whatever it is, I can't find it. I'm using OOo3.1.
Please help?

Hi,

OOtranslator extension installed successfully on Linux box. I tried with English-->Hindi text translation. Works pretty well.

Can OOtranslator wrapper integrate support for other Indic Languages (Gujarati, Punjabi, Bengali, Marathi, Malayalam, etc..) too ?

Waiting for the source code though ^_^
Nice work!!

Thanks.

Hi to all,
Does anybody knows how to install this extention? I downloaded the file (a zip file) and try to locate the OXT file as mentionned in the Mini HOWTO instruction (http://code.indictranstech.com/wiki/index.php/OOTranslator#Downloads) but no file of this type in the zip file.
Thanks
