Babylon,
a cool translation program for 10 languages
especially for the Internet
Program description |
|
| |
General:
Babylon is a program, which can translate english
written words into 10 other languages.
When you have started the program, it is working
in the background. For translation of an english
word, you only need to go with your mouse-arrow
to this word and to press right mouse-button
(Shift + right mousebutton). It opens a small
window in which you can see the translation.
So the program can be a big help, when you are
visiting Internet-pages which are written in
english, and you do not understand some words, to
translate these words on such an easy way.
But Babylon not only is working on Internetpages,
it is working also in any other application. So
you can translate words in an Chat-window or in
an email too.
It is also a big help if you write an English
text or email, because you can check on this easy
way if you have chosen the right word and if you
have written it correct.
Now Babylon also includes a calculator you can
convert currencies, measurements, and time from
every country (worldwide) into every country
(worldwide).
Installation:
If you install Babylon, first you will be asked
"This will install Babylon, do you wish to
continue?". After you have chosen
"Ok" you will see a recommendation to
close all open programs. Next you will see the
License-Agreement and after this you will be
asked for the directory you want to install
Babylon. If you change nothing Babylon will
install in the proposed directory. After this you
will see the Registration. Ther you will be asked
for your Email address, age group, occupation,
country, gender and interests. You need not fill
out or chose anything, you can do it also later.
But i recommend to fill out your Email address,
because then you are informed when there is an
update from Babylon. If you press
"Next" button of registration you must
chose how you want work with Babylon. You can
chose: "right mouse button",
"Shift + right mouse button",
"Strg + right mouse button" or
"middle mouse button". I recommend to
chose an other than only "right mouse
button". Then you can work with your right
mouse button same wise as before. This
configuration you can change later too. When you
press "Next" button the installation
starts. At the end you will be asked, if you want
start Babylon now.
Program
use:
When you have started Babylon it works in the
background. That it is active you can see at the
little icon right side in the taskline  . A click with the right mouse
button on this icon opens a pullup-menu
where you can chose for example Configure, Change
dictionary, Menu language etc..
If you want translate an english word, go with
your mouse arrow to this word, press, depending
of what you have chosen (for example "Shift
+ right mouse button), these Keys, and it will
open a small window which shows you the translation.
If Babylon notice a figure of speech, it shows
that you too , in this example "Internet
Exp...". If you click on the "figure of
speech", Babylon shows you the translation.
If Babylon did not recognize a word right, it
opens a window like this in which you can write the right
word. When you press Enter on your keyboard or
makes a click on the little arrow right beside
the word, you will see the translation.
At the left side of Babylon window you can see
some round icons. If Babylon window is a little
bit bigger , you can see all six icons. If
the window is too small, you can not see all
icons, but you can scroll up or down with the red
arrow above and below of these icons. If you
click on the 5th icon (from the top) it opens the
calculator . With the dropdown menu on the
lower left of the calculator you can chose if you
want convert currencies, measurements or time.
With the dropdown menu on the lower right you can
make a corresponding further selection. In the
field on the upper left you can typ in the value.
With the dropdown menu on the upper right you can
select the unit of measurement for the value.
With the dropdown menu on the middle left, you
can select the unit of measurement you want to
convert the value. The result you see in the
field with the red border on the middle left.
