2.0 out of 5 stars Got $45 to burn?, February 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Easy Translator 3 (CD-ROM)

The translations are crude at best. While I didn't expect a perfect translation, I did expect the program to perform simple sentence structures. Fortunately, I know the language I was translating. If you're looking to get a translation program that will give you the gist of what is said, then this is for you. If you're looking for a translation program that will place nouns, verbs, adverbs, etc. in the correct order, then don't waste your money unless you know the language and you have $45 to burn.

The name really fooled me! EASY TRANSLATOR. Maybe it is easy for computer programmers but it wasn't to me, a neophyte. Using their help menu is very difficult due to it's lack of a glossary and it's treatise on "how to". Their on-line help was also a great disappointment, in their eyes, maybe I should not be using a computer. I am well versed in AutoCad and Excel, but I did pay a little more for those programs. For the rest of the seniors, either go back to school or get a good language dictionary and do it the EASY way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy Translator 3 is Wonderful, January 29, 2000

This review is from: Easy Translator 3 (CD-ROM)

I purchased this software to help accelerate my comprehension of Italian and to write letters to a hotel in Quebec in order to make reservations. I think that this software is wonderful. It really opens up doors of communication. The only problem with it is that it can give somewhat clunky translations. One has to be cognizant of exactly what it is you are trying to say and how it is phrased in english or the translation will be a little off. It helps to have even a cursory understanding of the languages you are translating to/from in order to smooth the translation out.
