Cursor Translator

Cursor Translator looks like a handy app to have around for the situation when there is something to translate and there's no time to go on the Web to do it. Translating words just with a simple mouse move sounds great, but not for Windows 10 users.

The application have lots of years behind by the looks of it, but that shouldn't be a problem as many old apps were adjusted to work with newer architecture. Not the case with Cursor Translator. Despite it being graphically overhauled, the functionality seems to have been lost somewhere on the way, as only things inside the UI can be translated, and that doesn't appear to be the point.

As for Windows 8,7 and lower instances users, this tool might be of some help. The interface has almost nothing to it except the "How to" tip and the language selector. As the app instructs, one has to press and old down the Shift key and move the cursor over any word on the screen. The translated text should take the place of the info phrase.

To conclude, Cursor Translator sounds like a very helpful translation app, indeed, but without a proper port to Windows 10, the audience is going to fall on the shorter side.
