Babylon 7 Software Review

As a Web Designer, I am always in search of quality softwares. However, when I am wearing my translator/interpreter cap I am in search of linguistic resources that will facilitate my workload.

I recently decided to try out Babylon, a dictionary and translation computer tool. At first I was not sure what to expect from this tool, but I was pleasantly surprised to find how user-friendly and useful this tool is. It not only provides translations in up to 75 languages, but also provides immediate access to lexicographical and encyclopedic content. All you nee to do is simply click CTRL+Right Click Mouse over the word in question and a box will open indicating its translation into the target language, as well as additional relevant content from Wikipedia, Encyclopedia Britannica, and the Oxford English Dictionary.

this tool also offers spell check and automatic text translation in 17 languages, however I would not rely on machine translation software as they do not adequately translate grammar and syntax.

This is a great supplementary resource to the various references that translators/interpreters use. However, I wouldn’t run to my office and start throwing away my print dictionaries. Babylon dictionaries and glossaries should be used as an additional tool to the varied reference materials that we already use.

With Business and international travel and interests exploding, a quick, easy and accurate translation can be invaluable. Text Translations in 75 languages, all in a single click.

Overall, a great tool!
