but I want to keep it as simple as possible.

I'm aware that there are various add-ins and things you can use (UNO). Zipfile.writestr( zip_info, document_root.toxml() ) mess around with the contents DOM document.

If ( zip_info.filename = "content.xml" ): zipfile = ZipFile( file_path, "a" )Ĭontents = zipfile.read( zip_info.filename ) strangely, both these (if unzipped as "content.xml" and "content_1.xml" for example) seem to contain the content as modified. What might be wrong with this? If I try this I get 2 content.xmls in the zip file (ODT file). I like the fact CafeTran accepts ODF files, and allows/supports the use of OO/LO in various ways (unless I am mistaken, export as ODT for bilingual review is lacking, but hardly an issue because the resulting DOCX can be opened in LibreOffice - the issue is with documents that you can't save as DOCX without loosing some formatting/layout, and they are more common than you might think).Īt least my own use certainly defies the preponderance of MS Office, although I keep a copy handy for when it's absolutely necessary.I want to do a very simple bit of manipulation of a LibreOffice Writer document.

However, I'm also using LibreOffice extensively for other translation related tasks: saving OCRed documents as ODT, working on literary translations, Free Software localization, CV and other business documents. In my line of work, I have received ODT files from some French clients in the past, although I admit DOCX is the majority for sure, in business environment. This is to be expected because ODF is an Open Standard and not a closed format.Īnd being an Open Standard, I guess it may be easier to implement such a filter than it might have been for Word DOCX. OpenDocument is an accepted, recommended, adopted or even required file format (sometimes along with Linux as you said, see ) by several governmental and other organizations across the world.įor example, according to French government's RGI (general interoperability framework), ODF is the "recommended format for office documents within French administrations".
