Babylon Translation and Dictionary Software

October 15th, 2007 · View Comments

Babylon Translation and Dictionary Software offers text translation in 17 languages and Wikipedia results in 13 languages, all in a single click.

I’ve been playing around with Babylon a lot for both personal and business reasons.

We’re teaching our kids Spanish, and we use Babylon to create flashcards and other various learning materials.

The way Babylon works is that you highlight a word or phrase, right click to activate Babylon, and then perform the translation.

In my case, I’m doing it in Spanish, but you can also do it in French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Hebrew, Chinese (Traditional), Chinese (Simplified), Dutch, Russian, Korean and Swedish.

The Babylon translation and dictionary software is simple to use, which makes the whole learning experience more pleasant for me.

When it comes to business, I deal with markets all over the world, and I frequently use Google AdWords to place advertisements.

Since I am advertising in different regions and countries, I want to be able to reach folks in their native tongue.

Babylon has made it easy for me to translate these marketing messages from English to Spanish, French, Italian, etc.

Additionally, I like to monitor feedback on my products and services, and often I come across comments in languages other than English.

So I just highlight passages in the reviews and bring them into Babylon to translate them. Knowing what people are saying certainly aids my business, as it helps me to improve, and Babylon plays a key role.

The software is really easy to use and installs in seconds. If you have a need to translate languages, you should have a look at Babylon.
