Legible Latin

Legible Latin is an effective and easy to understand piece of software that was developed to offer you a straightforward method of translating words in a Latin text, by providing you with multiple meanings and letting you pick the one you think best matches.

Subsequent to a brief installation process, with no particularly mentionable events, you can launch the program and begin working with it right away, as its intuitive looks make it approachable for anyone, even if you lack prior experience.

The main window of Legible Latin allows you to input the text that you want to use either from a TXT file, from your clipboard or from an online source.

After having added the phrases that you need to work with, you can use the ‘Text Size’ and ‘Line Spacing’ arrows to adjust its appearance, so it can be easier to read for you. For the same purpose, the 'Preferences' window enables you to choose the font and size.

To get started, you can simply hover and click on the targeted items. Depending on its type (noun, verb, adverb, adjective, etc), Legible Latin will display several details about it, for instance its other forms when conjugated.

The utility will provide you with the various meanings of the terms, and you can decide which best suits the context. In a lower panel, Legible Latin features other usage examples inside the same text, while the ‘Analyze’ tab will reveal ‘Second Closest Words’.

However, if you are in the process of translating the text, you will need to write the English version in an individual document, as Legible Latin does not feature a window or section where you can type your translation, to allow you to compare the two, side-by-side.

To sum it up, Legible Latin is a handy, albeit rather limited tool functioning as a translation instrument for the Latin language, which helps you obtain the various equivalent English meanings for each and every element in a given text, all with a simple click.
