The SYSTRAN Toolbar
The SYSTRAN Toolbar is integrated into specific Windows applications (refer to the
SYSTRAN 6 Product Comparison) when you install a SYSTRAN 6 product. It can also
be used as a floating toolbar to translate selected text in any Windows application.
The Toolbar includes Source (original) and Target (translated) language selection, the
Translate button, Dictionary Lookup, and access to the Options settings. In
SYSTRAN 6 professional products, the SYSTRAN Toolbar also includes one-button
access to SYSTRAN Translation Project Manager (STPM) for side-by-side translation
management.
The SYSTRAN Toolbar has very similar appearances and functions in all Windows
applications.
Using the SYSTRAN Toolbar
The following procedure describes the typical use of the SYSTRAN Toolbar:
1. Select a source language from the dropdown list. The source languages
available in this list depend on the language packs installed and activated on
your PC.
You can enable Language Detection in the Options settings (refer to
Setting your Global Options) to have SYSTRAN 6 automatically detect the
source language.
2. SYSTRAN 6 will show the last target language used for the selected source
language in the target language dropdown list. Select from the list if you want
to translate the text into a different language.
The target languages available in this list depend on the language packs
installed and the source language you selected.
Double-click the language pair arrow between the language selection
buttons to reverse the source/target language selection.
3. Click the Translate button to perform the translation. A progress bar appears in
the lower right of the screen to show translation progress. Click to cancel
the translation.
