ImTranslator blog

ImTranslator provides a complete language synchronization. It synchronizes the dictionary with a selected language pair. For example, if the language pair chosen for translation is English-German, the corresponding Dictionary language pair will be active. If the dictionary doesn’t support the language for a selected translation pair, the first available language combination will be displayed.

The Dictionary works with the active ImTranslator window. It captures the first word from the text of the active window and displays available translations. If a word is part of the phrase, the Dictionary displays the translation of the phrase (if found), and then the translation of single words.

To see the translation of a specific word, highlight the word in question and bring up the Dictionary.

The Dictionary has the following features:
Word search - quick search of words and their translations.
Phrase search - quick search of phrases with available searched word.
The dictionary translation window displays a searched entry along with all of its available translations and synonyms. If a searched word is part of a phrase or idiomatic expression, the Phrases will be displayed.
Alphabetical list - provides an alphabetical list of available words if no translation is found.
List of suggestions - displays possible suggestions for a searched word in case of misspelling.
Drag & Drop - supports drag & drop feature to and from any Windows application.
Dynamic typing support - speeds up the way of entering the word for search.

The Auto functions if checked, automatically performs the following task:
Opens Dictionary if a single word is entered for translation.
