Translation is never an easy task. It usually costs a lot of money to do it right. Like many colleagues and friends at work, TG has to deal with translation all the time because of mulit-language users environment.

TG got a message from a friend who asked TG to test out a new desktop dictionary. The dictionary is offered free by Google and her partner – 金山词霸.  

TG has it downloaded. it is very easy and simple. After launching the program, the user interface pops up. Starting from the top, there are three tabs, TG moves to the last tab which is for translation.

  • The first row is word translation,
  • the second row is web page translation

 Google translation tool

Roughly speaking, the result is 80 to 85 per cent accuate. And most importantly, the translation speed is quite fast. TG tried out a news story in MSN relating to the pass-away of fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, it came back the result in less than one minute. Awesome!!
