instant on-demand translation needed

(1/2) > >>

hello

I come accross text in various languages in webpages, text documents, etc

I really want to be able to get an instant translation of a word as I read the text, instead of having to open a translation webpage or program and search there

I was thinking something like to be able to highlight some text and with a keyboard shortcut or a context menu entry to display the translation in a pop up near the highlighted text

has anyone come across such tool?

thanks

thanks!

this is very nice, exactly what I was looking for

the only problem is that it's not freeware :( and it seems to consume lots of sys resources

http://www.lingoes.net/  these people offer a free translator program, worth a try, i dont know how good it is but it seems to work as far as i can tell.

kalos:
thanks
