Yandex Translate Desktop

Whether we like it or not, most of us live in a multi-cultural environment, especially in terms of our online presence. Therefore the presence of multiple languages is no longer something unique, but rather a common concept. Having an easy way of translating content, regardless of its intended purpose, source or destination can be a real life-saver. Yandex Translate Desktop was designed specifically for providing users with a simple way of translating text, in just a few clicks or two keystrokes.

The application features a simple installation process, which doesn’t require any additional special steps. Two main tabs, one for the input and one for the output language offer control for defining the preferred parameters.

Two handy drop-down menus offer an easy language selection and inputting the text that is to be translated can be done intuitively, in multiple ways. Either by classic copy-paste operations or by simply dragging the preferred document over the app’s interface.

By far, one of the highlights of the app is that it allows you to perform the translation process semi-automatically, by simply selecting the preferred text and hitting a particular hotkey.

This means that regardless if you’ve selected text into a document, app or Internet browser, by using the hotkey (which can be set to your own, preferred combination) the text will be automatically inputted and translated into the application.

Thanks to its simplicity and the overall intuitive handling when it comes to translations, this program can serve you quite well if you need to save as much time as possible when wanting to translate some content.
