Multilingual Translator 1.7

Multilingual Translator is a Windows software application that can translate words or text to and from multiple languages straight from your desktop.

While Google Translate is most likely the number one utility when it comes to translation services, Multilingual Translator could come in handy because it offers powerful features right on the desktop, without the need for a browser.

Truth is, just like Google Translate, Multilingual Translator needs an active Internet connection, because the whole translation takes place online, while the user only sees the translated text.

The interface may scare away a user or two, mostly because the main window also displays advertisements, while the overall look seems a bit unprofessional.

The application supports multiple languages, not so many as Google Translate, but the most popular ones are included, such as English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Korean and Japanese.

Besides the main translation utility, the program also lets you save the translated text or print it straight from the main window.

Everything's pretty straightforward and easy to use, so it's no wonder there's no help file included in the package, which means beginners should have absolutely no problem when trying to use it.

Overall, Multilingual Translator is a handy utility, but there are similar applications out there doing the same thing with a much more appealing interface and well-developed features. Multilingual Translator needs a major facelift and some new features, as well as more supported languages.
