Logoport from Linux
So, you also work for Lionbridge, and have to use Logoport more and more.
I've used Crossover Office to install Word from the Office XP package, which works flawlessly. I've also added the "Logoport.dot" file in the templates directory, and also added the "Logoport.dll" to "system32" directory in the "fake Windows" in cxoffice.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could use Word + Logoport directly from Linux, without having to boot vmware Windows virtual machine?
Well, I've managed to do it, and it works.

Once you boot Word under Crossover, activate the Logoport.dot, and connect to Logoport using your account details.
Logoport will most likely tell you that you need to update Logoport, just click "OK", and the new dll will be installed.
After that close Word and restart it, as per instructions, and after that you can work without and problems in Word, connecting to Logoport and translating as usual.

Interesting.
But, not in terms of money.
Why not using Windows?
At every new software, you'll need a time consuming workaround in Linux. Time you could be making money.
Hey if you still check into ranting about the world of translation on your blog, I'd be interested in hearing more about how exactly you did this.
How do you actually go about copying the dot and dll files into the Crossover bottle?
Does it still work for more recent versions of Logoport?
Thx!
