Hi everybody,

I am trying to download all webpages of a website in order to import them into OmegaT as single translation project.
I've been using WebHTTrack and WebZip, but the result is not the one I was expecting: the only things I see in the project folder after the download are the chrome icons (in both languages) directing to the home page of the website in offline mode. And if I import the project in OmegaT, only the home page contents are displayed of course. What I ne... See more
Hi everybody,

I am trying to download all webpages of a website in order to import them into OmegaT as single translation project.
I've been using WebHTTrack and WebZip, but the result is not the one I was expecting: the only things I see in the project folder after the download are the chrome icons (in both languages) directing to the home page of the website in offline mode. And if I import the project in OmegaT, only the home page contents are displayed of course. What I need is to download all single web pages of the website in order to use OmegaT word count tool and not to miss anything while translating.

I have no experience in website translation, any suggestion is more than welcome!

Thanks in advance,

For starters... Jan 10, 2013

The "OmegaT for CAT Beginners" tutorial has a practice session on translating html files from the internet:

This uses Wikipedia articles as examples, but hopefully you can use the same principles for your project. (I tried it on my own website, but only got a few of the files; but then my websi... See more

This uses Wikipedia articles as examples, but hopefully you can use the same principles for your project. (I tried it on my own website, but only got a few of the files; but then my website has certain weird features, such as using .shtml rather than .html.)

I am the "non-expert"--maybe someone else will give you a simpler answer. You can always search the archives at the yahoo users group or ask a question there, for faster response. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/OmegaT/

Good luck,

It sounds to me like you did not download the whole web site. It might be that your settings in HTTrack and WebZip are incorrect.

If this is for a paid job, ask the client to send you the entire web site, by e-mail.

those chrome icons (in both languages)?

This is not related to OmegaT. Check your WebHTTrack or WebZip settings, perhaps you’ve set limit to link following depth and/or downloading pages from other domains.
