If you need Spanish translations of your company's documents routinely, get this product...

This is the most accurate spanish translating software I have found.
I even purchased one for my son's school.
It is easy to use and works better than the others I have tried.
I feel I got my money's worth.

I purchased the software to help my 14 year with his Spanish homework. He installed the software and was using it in minutes. It's easy and works great.

The greatest advantage Instant Spanish provides is not having to translate something from scratch. Before having it I would have to look up many words individually, but Instant Spanish does this for me quickly and automatically. It's a real time saver because it produces a great first draft without having to do anything but load my document into it and let it go!

I received the product and used it immediately. Had problem linking it to Microsoft Word. But, DUH.... the instruction is in the front cover. Basically, you find the program where it is installed in "program list", right click, open up autoinsert. It seeks out your version of word, and install it immediately. To use it, you can type your word program, click on options, and translate. Voila... done.

Just like any other translator program going from one language to another, you have to be proficient in spanish to use them correctly, and edit them correctly. This program translate the sentences in a linear fashion. So if your sentence structure is complex, wordy, or poetic... It ain't going to sound right in spanish. Keep the phrases simple, short, and think in a linear fashion. Then you don't have to do too many edits.

Example: "I just saw Joe Smoe in my office." might be translated that I just cut up Joe with my chainsaw!!. You just say, I say Joe - then it interpret it as the past tense of see. Not the present tense of SAW, to cut.

So, it is as good or better than many internet translator. But it is not for folks who do not have a good command of basic spanish vocabulary or grammar.

It is just a tool. If you want any better translation, pay for a real person to do it.

The software does not work. After installing and auto linking to my computer's word, the software would not execute. I tried on 3 different computers to make sure it wasn't a computer error. After which I called for tech help. When I told them the problem, we were conveniently disconnected twice. Both times I called back I was connected to voice mail. Left a message, but ALAS, no one EVER returned my call. Save yourself the trouble. Get something else!!!

This Software runs only on Windows Platforms Before VISTA. Be aware. It also only translates ENGLISH to SPANISH, not the other way around. Also, this is a very cheaply designed program, it is not up for current computer standards. If your running on a modern PC: keep away!
