Info from readme file:
"OmegaT Character Limiter Plugin allows you to limit characters in your translation projects. Do you want your translation's text length to be less or equal it's original length? Do you have some global limit for all segments and don't want to exceed it? Then this plugin is for you. It's free, open source and fully configurable, so you can adjust it for your needs." ▲ Collapse

Thank you for making this plugin. Just a quick question, does this work in OmegaT Flatpak version on Linux? If so, I'll try it out this weekend.

And thank you very much for licensing it under GPLv3. 👍

Hi. I don't know to be honest. I didn't test it on Linux. It was tested only on Windows version - OmegaT 6.0.0.
But you can let me know if it works for you in Linux and I'll update the "compatibility" section in readme file.

Thanks a lot.

OK, so this works as it should be on my Fedora Linux Workstation 39. But since I use the Flatpak version of OmegaT, I had to do a little workaround to install the plugin. This is what I get in exchange for airtight security. 🙃

If you installed OmegaT by downloading an installer from their website, you shouldn't need to do anything special. Just follow ikskoks' instructions on the GitHub page.
