What's new in TranslateIt!?

This version of TranslateIt! makes looking up words and phrases much easier and more enjoyable. To find out more, explore TranslateIt! Help and visit TranslateIt! web site.

Dictionary filtering (Deluxe version only)

TranslateIt! Deluxe allows users to choose the way search results are displayed – dictionary by dictionary or all active dictionaries together.

Dictionary grouping

If you have quite a lot of dictionaries installed, you may want to group them by language or by subject to avoid clutter. The dictionary grouping feature allows you to do it easily. And the dictionary groups manager makes batch creating/deleting dictionary groups and managing their contents a breeze.

DSL format support

TranslateIt! provides basic support for DSL dictionary format: Use DictBuilder (the built-in dictionary compiling/decompiling utility) to convert DSL-dictionaries into TranslateIt! compatible HTML-dictionaries preserving original formatting.

Power users can also customize appearance settings of such dictionaries.

To learn more, see DictBuilder's Help.

New dictionary package format

TranslateIt! introduces new dictionary package format. Dictionary packages simplify storage and distribution of dictionaries, as they contain all necessary dictionary files in a single package.

Access TranslateIt! features from any application

There is no need to keep TranslateIt! window always open. Use all its power via global keyboard shortcuts, services, Active Zone, or Apple's Dictionary-like Point-and-look-up feature (Deluxe version only).

Play & learn

When learning a foreign language, you have to learn quite a lot of new words. TranslateIt! offers some features that make this tedious process a little bit easier and more fun: the Word Quiz feature allows learning new words in a game; users also can print out flash cards to learn new words any time and anywhere they like.
