It is a collective name for the following extensions: .odt .ods .odp .odg and another one I can't recall. Secondly, ODF is being used mostly by Government Agencies, NGOs, Non-Profits, and other archived-concerned and "compatibility" concerned and ISO-followers. ODF is an ISO Standard. Only Microsoft's Office product line-up doesn't follow an ISO Standard. Now they're being forced to because they are losing customers by the thousands worldwide.

O formato ODF está se tornando popular atualmente por ser gratuito e um formato aberto para documentos. Com a chegada do SP2, no início de 2009,será possível abrir, editar e salvar documentos ODF e em outros formatos, incluindo PDF. Mas… se você não quer esperar ou precisa trabalhar com arquivos ODF, você pode baixar o plugin ODF agora no site da Sun.  Este plugin também é compatível com versões anteriores do Office, incluindo Office XP, 2003 e 2000 (fonte: gHacks) [...] [...] É possível que você saiba sobre o próximo Service Pack para o Office 2007 que permitirá que você trabalhe com mais formatos de arquivos como XML Paper Specification (XPS), Portable Document Format (PDF) 1.5, PDF/A e Open Document Format (ODF) v1.1.

OmegaT is a translation program, which helps translator do his/her work. Main advantage of it for me is displaying original and translated text - so one can with ease review and correct or improve one's translation, what isn't that possible in ordinary text editors and word processors. It can use translation memories, glossaries etc. - like serious translation tools do. However, in contrast to very expensive and bloated commercial translation tools, OmegaT is 1) free 2) slim 3) written in Java, so cross-platform 4) pretty simple. And it accepts .odt format (they say, OOXML too). So, when I received Word document, I opened it in OpenOffice Writer, converted to .odt, opened by OmegaT, translated, then converted to Word back - and all the formatting and pictures remain in place. Isn't this great? :) You reminded me about one notable event ;) On Monday I translated document from English to Russian via OpenOffice and OmegaT.
