Translator for Habr

Literally the other day, the great TranslateIt program has been updated ! about which I once wrote. It so happened that I was one of the beta testers of the new version.

The revival of a good tradition under the cut;)

* UPD *: There are no viruses on the site, your favorite city can sleep peacefully.

Agree that knowledge of foreign languages ​​is now a very profitable skill - when applying for a job it is at least an additional plus sign. And just somehow you feel more comfortable when you understand what the surrounding natives are talking about - be it Red Square or a foreign Internet site.

But knowledge of languages ​​is not given to everyone, but if it is given to anyone, then to everyone in varying degrees. That's just to correct this injustice, and this program was created. No, do not worry - to make cram " Landan from the land of Great Britain, " it will not. She just gently helps to feel more confident when meeting with an unfamiliar language.

The principle of its work is simple - after installation it climbs into the tray and sits quietly there. But it is necessary to bring the mouse cursor to the unknown overseas word of the application or site, as soon as its translation appears! And not just a translation (or several versions of it), but also a transcription with the possibility of sound reproduction by native speakers.

The button at which the prompt with the translation will appear is set in the settings - you can make the tooltip appear when you hover, when you press a key or when a word is selected. My choice is translation while holding the left Ctrl (allows you to translate text in applications + does not interfere when typing with Shift). Additional settings are also enough.

It's nice that the program also has a built-in translator from Google - open the window, paste the necessary text there and in a moment we get the translation. This is much faster than visiting the site of the translator. Naturally, in this case, you need to connect to the Internet, otherwise the program works without a network - it has a huge built-in dictionary. If it is not enough, 80 additional dictionaries can be downloaded from the manufacturer’s website for free, which are not included in the basic kit.

Another bonus is the usual dictionary. Enter the word (or part of it) and immediately see the translation, synonyms and everything. Well, in case there is no word, you can request it in online dictionaries or add it manually.

Translation can be obtained on websites, in applications, in PDF-files - I don’t even remember where the program would fail. Although there is no, I will remember - in programs with non-standard controls it does not work forever, for example, only “translation by selection” works in Google Chrome. Currently, work has been implemented between 4 languages, including English, German, Spanish and Russian.

The program has two versions - free (Lite) and paid (Pro, 800 rubles for a lifetime license), here are their differences . Naturally, the paid version is more functional and the fact that the developers want a small money for it can be fully understood - the softphone is really pleasant and useful!

In addition to the program for Windows and MacOS, there is a version for the PDA. I think it’s not worth telling in more detail - try to do it yourself quickly. Well, or watch my video:



Changes in version 8:

- Added full support for Windows Vista and Windows 7;
- Added support for Opera 10;
- Implemented a new method of working with dictionaries, which allows to reduce the size of the memory used by the program, speed up the process of searching for a translation and ensure high speed of entry and exit from the passive mode;

- In the "Text Translation" window, the function of auto-detection of the translation language has been added, the ability to
translation of "from" and "to" Hebrew.
- Made more flexible settings for the transfer of words in the program LearnWords;

slow down the operating system;

But it would be strange if I made a simple announcement :) In gratitude for the work, after the release of the final version, the beta testers were handed out on the personal key for the Pro-version. And since I already have it (I didn’t regret a pair of rubles in my time), then I have no choice but to share it with you.

All you have to do is download the distribution ( VirusTotal report), and after installing the softphone, enter a small spell when you first launch it (it only works in the latest version of the program!):

Name : Habrahabr.ru
Key : B3CX3-XQU7C-VUUE2-WGDGG-B3HVB-E7NNA-CH59Q-7F94X-L2AV5

Everything, now with a clear conscience, you can use) This program helps me when reading and correspondence of the year since 2006 - I hope you will like it too. If you find any errors or there are suggestions for improvement - leave in the comments.

Other similar bonuses will multiply on my twitter .
Successes!
