[comp.sys.mac.apps] German-English translators?

a_dent@fennel.cc.uwa.oz.au (02/17/91)

I know this is an unrealistic request but,

are there any German to English translation programs available for the Mac?

Thanks in Advance, in the unlikely event of a string of replies I'll summarize

Not that I know of. However, there is a dos based product called "German 
Assistant" from Microtac Software -- 4655 Cass Street, Suite 214, 
San Diego, CA 92109, (619) 272-5700 -- that does English to German
translation. It also conjugates verbs and provides general grammer help.

It works with ASCII files or you can use its built-in editor. A German 
to English update is forthcoming. Other languages available are French,
Italian, & Spanish.

I haven't had a chance to fully review it but it does seem to work as 
indicated. It will work on a Mac - if you use SoftPC... but on my b&w
screen the highlighting indicators don't work quite right making it a 
little confusing to use... - Ross
