The primary purpose of TranslateIt! is to be a fast, user friendly and customizable multilingual dictionary. TranslateIt! allows looking up not only single words, but also phrases (provided that installed dictionaries contain corresponding entries).
Just start typing a word or phrase in the search box, and TranslateIt! will start scanning all currently active dictionaries. If it finds a match, it shows it instantly. If TranslateIt! finds matches in several dictionaries, it shows them all in the same window in a sequence corresponding to the order of dictionaries in the active group (unless you are using TranslateIt! Deluxe, and dictionary filtering is turned on). And if TranslateIt! finds no exact matches, it shows its suggestions.
The above is the most obvious way of using TranslateIt!, but there's more: Users can access TranslateIt! from virtually any application. To find out more, see Accessing TranslateIt! features globally.
