Nov 2006 - I just downloaded and installed it which then meant that I had to sign up for TranslationBooth, and I was then told that it's no longer in use!!

You need to connect to internet to translate.

Summary
It doesn't work properly,you can not copy paste text into the box so you are forced to type out paragraphs.Compared to free translation sites on the internet this one translates a little better. An error message kept popping up and i had to uninstall the program in order for it to disappear.
Addition of website translator is great

Summary
It is not often that you get a free product (notwithstanding the other users inability to sign up for a free account with translationbooth) that gives you both a text and website translator in the one package. The new website translator allows you to translate a whole website in one go meaning that you do not have to use a web based provider to translate one page at a time. It means that when I was looking for reviews of the Fujitsu T70H (only sold in Japan) I could read all the reviews and website information in English quickly and easily. Also includes Arabic, Chinese and Korean. With an increasing number of websites in foreign languages this is a vital tool.

They need to reveal the fact an account with TransBooth (sp?) is required before you can use this ! Don't know how involved or costly account setup is because I deleted it when the readme file said I needed broadband and an account.
