Portable QTranslate

Translation tools have become a daily part of a lot of individual's routines. The popular way to translate stuff is by opening a browser a using an online service. If you are not sporting a high-end PC and would rather save up some RAM, you can try a standalone app. Portable QTranslate is a compact translator that uses its own UI to accomplish tasks. Though it may look like an offline program, you won't be able to use it without an internet connection.

Translation services

The reason the application cannot run in offline mode comes from the translations services. Google, Microsoft, Yandex, DeepDL, Baidu are examples of translation services behind those popular online tools. Portable QTranslate uses these specific services and a handful more, as engines for whatever you translate.

How to?

Use the same procedure as with the online tools. Write or paste your text down, choose the translation service from the bottom part of the layout. Select the languages for translation, or let the app auto-detect them. Click the Translate button after all previous steps were completed.

One can input text by speech. Click on the microphone icon and narrate the words. if you'd like to have an idea about how the processed text sounds, use the headset feature to have a listen.

Make use of the available dictionary

A dictionary is always a handy tool to have nearby. Use the Ctrl+D hotkey to bring it up. You have around 70 languages to choose from, and the same translation services are employed here as well.

Bottom line, Portable QTranslate is a basic translation tool that can be used as a pocket translator. Hop it on a removable drive and plug it in each time you need to translate text or search up a word in the dictionary.
