1. OmegaT sites and OmegaT SourceForge project

The OmegaT web site contains links to numerous OmegaT resources. User support is provided on a volunteer basis at the OmegaT Yahoo! User Group. The FAQ is a good starting point for finding answers to questions you may have. For the latest version of OmegaT, refer to the downloads page at www.omegat.org. You can also file bug reports and requests for enhancements.

2. Bug reports

Remember that every good bug report needs just three things:

  • Steps to reproduce

  • What you expected to see

  • What you saw instead

More can be found in the Painless Bug Tracking article by Joel Spolsky.

You should add copies of files, portions of the log, screen shots, and anything else that you think will help the developers to find and fix your bug. Note that bug reports and requests for enhancements are publicly visible, so you should not add any sensitive files. If you wish to keep track of what is happening to the report, register as a SourceForge user, login and file a bug report or simply click Monitor at the top of the report.
