gTrans sits in the system tray and lets you enter a text and a pair of languages. My favorite feature is "translate from clipboard": if you select this option, every time you copy text in the clipboard, gTrans translates the text for you.
Update. There's also a very nice Google Desktop plug-in that translates a text while you type it:
Pretty good translation ;) Except for "panel" that you can translate to "plateau" or... "panel" :)
ReplyDeletec'est pas mal ça ;-)
ReplyDeleteIs it available offline.... or does it only work when connected to the internet?
ReplyDeleteNo, it is an online tool. I came to this stupid page while searching for an offline translator.
ReplyDeleteYou'll never find a decent translator that doesn't require an internet connection. Statistical translators use a huge amount of data and they need a lot of processing power, so you'd need hundreds of computers to obtain a good performance.
ReplyDeleteIf you're looking for a bilingual dictionary, there are many that work offline.
No longer free
