The Wordfast site (www.wordfast.net) mentions 2 working and tested environments: Linux (Mandrake, XFCE, VMWare & Office 97) Linux (Suse, KDE2 + Crossover & Word 2000) Regards, Gerard | | | Try it out with OpenOffice and StarOffice on Windows PC | Dec 15, 2006 |
The instruction is for MSWord, try it with OpenOffice and StarOffice Windows version, looks like VB is needed. If it works with non-MS office suites on Windows, it may work with the same suites on Linux. | | | Marc P (X) Local time: 09:41 German to English + ...

OpenOffice.org uses its own version of Basic, Star Basic. Wordfast will run on Linux if Crossover Office and Microsoft Word are installed. The CO/Word/WF combination has been tried successfully on a number of Linux distributions. Marc | |

Hi, Anaphraseus is a Wordfast-clone for OpenOffice. I have tested it on a Ubuntu Linux 8.04 box with OpenOffice 2.4 and it works well. you can find it at http://anaphraseus.sourceforge.net/ Bruno | | |
Hi Everyone, I've just bought a new laptop and Vista apparently doesn't support my office 2000, so, since I have a really tight deadline, I have gambled on openoffice with anaphraseus. As Bruno says, it's a wordfast-clone, and it's been working fine sofar. I'll come back on this once I've finished the translation. Alberto | | |
Ok, for those who are interested in Anaphraseus. As other have reminded us, it's still a beta version. Now I have used it for a while, and was quite happy until I had to translate tabs content. Well, here it simply skipped it as if it didn't recognise tabs as items to be translated. Perhaps I have done something wrong, but I still wasn't able to sort this out. However I'm sure developers will fix any bugs users will report.
