Word Translation Mode
No more flipping through pages and pages of dictionary entries! With Word
Translator's Word Translation mode, you can translate single words, phrases
and even short sentences quickly and easily with your mouse and just a few
keystrokes. Because Word Translator is bi-directional, you can do so using
either of the languages supported by your bilingual dictionary! To
translate, simply highlight a word or phrase in your Windows word processor
or application and call-up Word Translator with the hot key combination.
Word Translator will automatically provide you with all translations
entered in your bilingual dictionary. You can even customise your bilingual
dictionary by adding new words, phrases and translations and even change
existing entries to meet your individual personal or business needs.
Spell Checking As-You-Type
No more typos or spelling mistakes! Word Translator's Spell Checking mode
spell-checks as-you-type in both of the languages supported by your
bilingual dictionary. It can help ensure your document is perfectly
presented without spelling errors or typos. If a word you type is not
entered in your bilingual dictionary, Word Translator will sound an alarm
and display a list of suggested spellings. If a suitable replacement
exists, Word Translator will automatically replace the misspelled word in
your text with the selection you make. If it is not in the dictionary, you
can easily and quickly add the word or phrase along with as many
translations as you want or need.
As you will be able to see by yourself this great feature of Word
Translator will ensure that you learn how to spell correctly because you
will get immediate feedback just as soon as you have made your mistake.
We all make the same kind of mistakes over and over again. The interactive
spell-checking mode of Word Translator is very intelligent because it will
remember the choices you made when you corrected your previous spelling
mistakes. This is a feature that is incredibly useful for people who have a
tendency to be or are dyslexic. People who are dyslexic know the correct
spelling of a word but they type it in wrongly all the time.
Another wonderful part of spell checking as-you-type is that when you come
across a very long word for which you are not sure of its spelling you can
just type the first few characters of it and Word Translator will predict
what you wanted to type. This feature is now an integrated part of the
spell checking as-you-type mode because it becomes useful only for longer
words and it is the user who ultimately knows if he or she wants to type a
long word or not. To use this option the user would type, for example, the
first five characters of a word, press the space bar, Word Translator Word
come up saying that the word is not spelt correctly and then the user would
click on a button called Predict which would give the wanted prediction
that can be pasted back into the Windows application (most probably a word
processor in this case).
Conventional Spell Checking
Spell checking after you have typed an entire document or paragraph is also
supported by Word Translator. Comparing this feature of Word Translator to
that of your current word processor you will notice that Word Translator
can spell check in many languages and it can spell check in any Windows
application not just in your word processor. We are sure you will like this
wonderful feature of our software!
Document Translation
Fast translation of complete sentences, paragraphs and documents at your
finger tips! Word Translator's Document Translation mode performs a
word-by- word and phrase-by-phrase translation of any text you choose in
your Windows word processor or application. It allows you to closely
monitor the translation of individual words and phrases recognised by Word
Translator by allowing you to choose from any existing translation for any
word or phrase. It is a great way to produce a first draft translation of
your text and can speed up the entire translation process by as much as
60%. All the formatting of your original document is perfectly preserved.
Word Translator even automatically pastes the translation back to your
Windows word processor or application.
Quick Document Translation
Save time translating a complete document! If you need a quick draft
translation of a document, Quick Document Translation is a mouse click
away. It is fast and easy to use. Once you have highlighted the document
text, Quick Document Translation does the rest. It performs a word-by-word
and phrase-by- phrase translation much like the Document Translation mode
but it does so automatically. Quick Document Translation also preserves all
formatting of your original document and automatically pastes the
translation back to your Windows word processor or application.
