Perhaps not everybody knows that there is a portable version of OmegaT. You can find it here:

http://www.winpenpack.com/main/download.php?view.1083
(of course you must have winPenPack’s x-launcher on your pen drive (or usb hard disc)
I’ve just added it on my winPenPack and it works.

I don't have the x-launcher but it also works for me (although I had to download Java the first time I ran it). The unpacked version without Java is 15 MB, but when it downloads Java, it puts the Java engine in the same folder tree, and then the unpacked version is 120 MB large. Nice to have the configuration files in the same folder (in a folder named "User").

I'm under the impression that an official OmegaT version can also be used portably, with a little tweaking of the startup BAT file, but I'm not sure how that works.

Use something local for the configuration directory Nov 17, 2010

You just have to use a local directory for the configuration.
E.g.,
java -jar OmegaT.jar --config-dir=.
or
java -jar OmegaT.jar --config-dir=\local_setup\

One has to have Java as well, though. What if the machine doesn't have Java on it? Is there a portable version of Java that one has to install on the portable drive? The version of OmegaT with Java is a Windows EXE installer version, after all.

portable java Nov 17, 2010

of course, there is, one of the examples:
http://www.winpenpack.com/main/download.php?view.956
another one: http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/java_portable

but you will probably find a better way how to install it on your pen drive

You can use the "with JRE" version (just install it on the portable drive).
Instead of launching
java -jar
just launch
jre\bin\java -jar
