Easy Web Translator
(a.k.a. ezWebTranslator)

Important Notice:

ezWebTranslator uses two on-line web translators. BabelFish and Google. The default (BabelFish) changed the web API therefore is not working anymore with this version of ezWebTranslator.

In order to get ezWebTranslator working, you will need to change the 6th button (Translation Server Selector) state from Babelfish to Google and should work. Don't forget: ezWebTranslator requires an Internet Connecttion.

About

Usage

The application consists of four user interface elements:

  1. The Toolbar
    The Toolbar contains provides a short access to the common actions
     

  2. The Edit Window
    Inside the Edit Window you can type or paste the text which needs to be translated. Usual edit key can be used (e.g. Arrows, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+P, etc)
     

  3. The Browser Window
    Is a full featured Internet Explorer window with a context popup.

    Hint:
    If the result uses special character sets (e.g. Japanese, Chinese, German, Spanish, etc.) and you see wrong characters you can click right inside the window and in the context popup -> Encoding select appropriate character set.

     

  4. The TrayIcon
    Can be found on the task bar in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
    - To show/hide the ezWebTranslator just click on the tray icon.
    - To invoke the application context menu click the right mouse button.

    The Tray Icon also displays the state of the current operation. When the icon is animated the application does access to the translation web server.
