Desktop Client For Google Translate
The Google Translate Api allows web and software developers to implement the translation service into their own products and websites. One of the latest desktop programs to take advantage of the Google Translate service is an application called Client For Google Translate. This translation software basically provides the means to translate text in nearly every application that is launched in the operating system. It works out of the box in web browsers but is not restricted to them.
A few settings need to be configured after installation,especially the language the text should be translated to. The software is configured to automatically detect the language of the text that the user wants to translate. This text can be selected with the mouse. A small G icon will appear next to the text. If that icon is pressed the area is expanded automatically and the translation displayed.
Several controls are displayed below the translated text including options to copy the text to the Windows clipboard or to select the languages manually for the translation which comes in handy if the translation service detected the wrong language.
The very same principle can be used in other applications with one difference. The application needs to be added to the Client For Google Translate before the translate options become available there as well. This is done by bringing the application window to the front, right-clicking the system tray icon of Client for Google Translate and selecting to enable the feature in the application.
From then on it is possible to translate text in the selected software program as well. The software client can also be used to translate text directly by copying it into the interface.
Client For Google Translate is a software program for the Windows operating system. It is compatible with most versions including Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP. A commercial pro version is available as well which adds Wikipedia articles and dictionaries as new features.
