Do you need \'on-the-job\' translation help?

...Then, discover WinDi®!

The all-in-one Translation Help package.



- Deutsch - Español - Français - English - Italiano - Nederlands - Português -

WinDi is a software with different modules, all compatible with WindowsTM applications!



Sentence translation

Allows you to create billions of correct sentences in up to 7 languages. Grammar and examples

Agreement in gender and number of nouns and adjectives, location of adjectives in a sentence, etc.



7 dictionaries

Multidirectional: from and to each language, very accurate grammatical information for each word, article before nouns, etc.



7 conjugations

Conjugation for all tenses and in 7 languages, comparison between languages, management of separable verbs (Dutch, German), impersonal verbs.



Encoding of new words

Allows you to adapt the dictionary to your own field of activities: your own vocabulary available on-line!



WinDi is very easy to use thanks to this friendly menu...

Each of these icons gives you access to one of the available tools:



The WTH double editor



Voice for WinDi



WinDi Dictionary



WinDi Conjugation



WinDi Direct Translation



Translation Project Manager





WinDi is a complete multilingual solution. Example of use: Help in Understanding



For example imagine you have received a letter that contains the following sentence in French:



\'Nos sous-traitants enverront les marchandises par avion.\'

The key word in this sentence is, of course, the verb - in this case \'enverront\' - which is an interesting example of irregularly conjugated verb. Indeed, \'enverront\' is the conjugation in the future tense of the verb \'envoyer\', which is \'to send\' in English. This verb, like many other ones in all languages, is very difficult to understand when it is conjugated. The meaning of the sentence may get lost...



WinDi gives a solution for this kind of understanding problem!



The solution is child\'s play... just click the word that is not understood,

then click the \'WTH double editor\' icon, and WinDi finds it for you,

thanks to its high-level algorithm! (see example above)





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WinDi Encoding ©

This module allows you easily to adapt the WinDi Dictionaries to your own field of activities: add your own words, or modify the existing database according to your particular context.





- You don\'t have to encode all seven languages.



- Exhaustive list of grammatical comments to complete your encoding.



- New lexicons from other WinDi users can be added into your own dictionaries.



- You can export your modifications to share them with other users, subsidiaries, etc.





One of WinDi\'s main assets is the ability to exchange lexicons between different sites equipped with WinDi softwares. The dictionary database can be enlarged or modified according to the user\'s particular field of activities, and the modifications can be very easily extracted and exchanged between WinDi users. This allows \'standardization\' of the vocabulary used by the different sites of a corporation, or even by the corporation and its customers or suppliers, which is of course a huge asset in the communication needs of today. The words added will be available in the sentence translation module (WinDi Direct Translation), allowing you to create your own sentences.



System requirements for WinDi:

At least a true compatible 486 PC (Pentium advised), running Windows, and 16 MB RAM (32 MB advised).

In a LAN, WinDi is compatible with Novell, Lan Manager, TCP/IP, Banyan, 3COM, Pathworks, etc.

Re: WinDi All-in-one Translation Help Package Jan 4, 2002

I have a similar tool that costs half that - L&H Simply Translating. I paid 49 bucks for it about a year/year and a half ago. Gives 5 languages in both directions as well as the functions you mention. I must say, though, that the sentence/paragraph/page translations are FAR from perfect. Some are laughable. I\'m willing to bet that any product claiming to do so much produces similar results. for word checks, though, it\'s a great product. Definitely worth the 49 dollars I spent.

However, checking at their website - http://www.lhsl.com/simplytranslating/ - seems you can no longer purchase the product online.
