PISA 2025 OmegaT testing

Test 1: download a new OmegaT project (translation)

(Remember to put yourself in the shoes of a generic user, which could be a translator from a PISA participant, a verifier, etc.)

The test should take 5-10 min. Please follow the steps:

Steps:

1. Create a new (hence, empty) folder in your machine. Call that folder PISA_2025_fr-ZZ_Translation1_OMT.
   Below you can see some tips for file organization (that's not part of the test, but feel free to follow them and provide feedback if you like).
2. Right-click here and then select Save Link As from the contextual menu (or Save Target As, depending on the browser) to download the OmegaT project file.
3. Put this omegat.project file inside the folder you created in the previous step. That folder is now your OmegaT project.
4. Run OmegaT (version 5.7.1 of course) and open the OmegaT project.

File organization

File organization on your end is very important for the successful execution of your work. Here come some recommendations for a tidy organization.

1. Designate a working folder for the project in your machine (the project being PISA25 in this case), and use that same location for all related tasks. We would suggest a location at a very high level in the folder structure in your machine, e.g. one of the following
2. On Windows: C:\Work\CLIENT\PROJECT or C:\Users\USER\Work\CLIENT\PROJECT

3. On Mac/Linux: /Users/USER/Work/CLIENT/PROJECT

4. Inside the PROJECT's working folder above, create the following folder structure (or something similar that fits your purposes):

    ├── 00_Admin
    ├── 01_Instructions
    ├── 02_Tasks
    └── 03_Whatever

Create your OmegaT project folders inside, say, C:\Users\Manolo\Work\cApStAn\TestingProj\02_Tasks. The final path to the OmegaT project folder should look like C:\Users\USER\Work\CLIENT\PROJECT\02_Tasks\OMT-PROJ-DIR, where OMT-PROJ-DIR is (the name of) your local OmegaT project folder.
