Using Google for translating words and expressions Mar 25, 2010

As long as the languages you are working with are on the list in Google Translater it's only to go to the site and write the word/expression in the window required, then find the source and target languages and the click the "Translate" button. Visit http://translate.google.com/#

GT4T Mar 26, 2010

Very sophisticated: Google Translate for Translators (GT4T), a small program which instantly gives you translations for selected words or expressions with CTRL-J to and from languages available in Google translate, without having to switch to your browser.
You can find it here: http://dallascao.com/en/gt4t/. I am a satisfied user for almost twoo weeks now, no afiliations..... The developer, Dallas Cao is a very helpful an kind person, a translator himself.

Kind regards, Alma

Not compatible with Wordfast Classic Apr 6, 2010

WF has to be disabled in order to use.

Here is another one that may be better than GT4T Apr 6, 2010

http://translateclient.com/

It works on-screen, and it does not take you to Google Translate website.

I like it very much.

Regards

Waleed

WF Classic and GT utility Apr 7, 2010

I'll make sure WF offers the same service on its own then.

Cheers,

Incompatibility with WF Classic Apr 7, 2010

GT4T has two editions, one is a .dot Word Macro add-in and the other is a Windows executable running in the system tray.

Alma found GT4T Word Edition might be incompatible with the latest version of WF Classic but the Pro edition doesn't have such a problem.

The cause of incompatibly might be that WF Classic tries to disable other .dot add-ins in order to ensure it can run properly.
