Is it that difficult to use a virtual machine in Linux?

Not at all!
It's the best way to handle all these problematic applications (trados and company)
that don't behave well when installed together.
Let's suppose that your clients need Tag Editor, and Trados 2009 SP3...
I keep all these beasts each one in his own cage (virtual machine) and the only thing i have to do
to solve the occasional problem is to revert the machine.

Even for win users, this is the way to go!

virtual machines are OK May 9, 2011

It is easy. It is not the desired solution. I had a Linux desktop with Windows virtual machine for translation for quite a while. Since I spent almost all of my time in the virtual machine, the setup started to feel inconvenient.

I do not mind using the virtual machine from time to time. Using it 95% of the time is inconvenient.

Not that it is very difficult, but it involves extra effort that could be spared for work or leisure. Besides, what's the point? With a VM, you work in Windows, not in Linux…

Are you a Linux Translator? Aug 29, 2011

HI there.
I am a linux user, i use opensuse 11.4 and i have successfully downloaded OmegaT, but I see that companies prefer Trados which i am trying to get to run on virtualbox.

Do companies accept OmegaT, what about if they specify Trados?
