We recommend: Translator Standard.  With this program, you will be able to translate a foreign-language document from beginning to end and obtain the gist of it. It is intended for reading, not making formal translations unless editing is performed afterwards by a bilingual human translator.

The document might have colloquial expressions and idioms, particularly American and Latin American idioms and expressions. This could be the case of an executive browsing through an Internet article and needing to get the gist of it, of a letter, or of any other document written in English or Spanish.

We recommend: Translator Professional or Professional Plus. If you need to actually translate a document, not just read/understand it, then you need more than the Standard version.  The sentence-by-sentence Interactive Editing capabilities of Translator Professional or the Translator Professional Plus will allow even a non-professional human operator to guide the translation process live and produce a final document worthy of publication.

A Translation Memory feature allows you to customize the system, enabling it to choose your preferred terminology. You may also add your own words and expressions to the Dictionary.

English writers always can rely on more than one truly excellent English dictionary, with exhaustive meaning definitions, accurate descriptions and even usage examples for a better understanding of each word and each meaning.

Synonyms dictionaries are on an equal level. Roget’s Dictionary is a superb model of how a thesaurus should be built, with meanings and shades neatly separated with their corresponding synonyms.

Spanish users are not so lucky. There is only one “official” Spanish dictionary and it is not nearly as well structured. Spanish synonym dictionaries are even more obtuse and, as a rule, mix meanings and parts of speech in each and every synonym group.

Word Magic’s Dictionary & Tools has been structured following the path of Roget’s Thesaurus and, for the first time ever, Spanish synonyms and antonyms have been separated into syntactical and semantic groups according to their meanings.

We recommend: Dictionary & Tools Professional offers Two million English synonyms mirrored with other two million Spanish synonyms, for a grand total of four million synonyms: Largest thesaurus in the world.

It offers conjugation tables of all Spanish and all English verbs, matched together for a clear understanding.

It offers verb de-conjugation as well, finding the root verb when you enter an inflected form, be it verb, adjective or noun, all tenses and persons, diminutives and augmentatives.

It includes what we call an Phrase Scanner, a unique application especially useful for writers in all fields. You enter a concept, and the Phrase Scanner will give you a list of hundreds of English phrases which contain and express that concept, plus the English synonyms and the Spanish translations of those phrases. It searches a database of 300,000 idiomatic and set phrases.

Finally, Dictionary & Tools offers also bi-directional translations of English and Spanish entry words and phrases, like a regular translation dictionary. Dictionary & Tools outstands among other translation dictionaries due to its size. It has 900,000 translation entries plus millions of virtual recognized inflected words.

Both our translator and our bilingual dictionary rely on a database of 900,000 direct translation entries, 4 million synonyms and a collection of 300,000 idiomatic expressions in English and Spanish. Number of recognized virtual words: more than 5 million.

As far as we know, this is largest electronic bidirectional English-Spanish dictionary in the market. As a reference, a pocketbook dictionary has anywhere from 4,000 to 16,000 translations. On top of that, paper dictionaries have no virtual entries, that is, one cannot look up inflected terms such as plurals, feminine nouns, Spanish augmentatives or diminutives, nor millions more of conjugated verb forms in them.

Dictionary & Tools interprets virtual entries. This means that for each verb entry it can interpret and translate dozens of its conjugations and dozens of its so-called “enclitic forms”, and for each noun or adjective it will interpret and translate its Spanish feminine, plural, augmentative and diminutive. Thus, the 900,000 actual entries become about 5 million virtual ones.

Systems that offer “one million translations“ or more, should specify if they are referring to virtual translations or real entries.

Translator is designed to choose nouns, adjectives and verbs in context with the meaning. No other system in the market is capable of this.

Thus, an ambiguous adjective such as “sharp” will be translated as follows:

A sharp man = Un hombre listo
A sharp knife = Un cuchillo filoso
A sharp sound = Un sonido agudo

This works also in the reverse direction:

Un hombre agudo= A sharp (clever) man
Un cuchillo agudo= An acute (pointed) knife
Un sonido agudo= A sharp (shrill) sound

It works also in relation with verbs:

El hombre es listo = The man is smart.
El hombre está listo = The man is ready

It works also with idiomatic expressions and phrasal verbs such as:

I brought the children up in the old way
Crié a los niños de la forma vieja

I brought up the issue at the meeting
Traje a colación el asunto en la reunión.

I brought her breakfast up to her room
Subí su desayuno a su cuarto.

There are thousands of ways in which Translator will interact with the context of the sentence and it is quite impossible to show them in a single document. The above examples are quite elementary and are shown here only to give you a glimpse of Translator.

Now, we invite you to do your part. Take these sentences -or any other sentence constructed with ambiguous words- and try them out in any other translation software available anywhere. Then compare the results.

Translator draws from a collection of 300,000 made phrases, adverbial locutions, slang and idioms. That’s why it is not a literal translator.

Here we show just a few examples of idiomatic translation:

She added fuel to the fire
Ella le echó leña al fuego.

You have to keep a stiff upper lip. Never chicken out
Tiene que poner a mal tiempo buena cara. Nunca se acobarde.

Get a grip on yourself. Keep cool. Stay put
Recobre la calma. Conserve la serenidad. Permanezca quieto.

Ella perdió la chaveta
She went off her rocker (She went crazy)

Here are some examples of colloquial translation:

Aguantamos carros y carretas pero, me importa un pepino
We put up with everything but, a fat lot I care!

Cayó como una pedrada en ojo de boticario
It came in the nick of time (It came just right)

Le sentó como una pedrada en el ojo
It got to him like a red rag to a bull.

Don't count your chickens before they're hatched
No vendas tu piel del oso antes de cazarlo

Here are some examples of proverbial phrases:

No hay mal que por bien no venga
Every cloud has a silver lining (A blessing in disguise)

A bad penny always turns up
Hierba mala nunca muere

A man is known by the company he keeps
Dime con quién andas y te diré quién eres

A rolling stone gathers no moss
Piedra que rueda no cría moho

Absence makes the heart grow fonder
La ausencia aviva el amor

Obras son amores que no buenas razones
Actions speak louder than words

All cats are alike in the dark
De noche todos los gatos son pardos

Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth
A caballo regalado no se le mira colmillo.

The early bird catches the worm
Al que madruga Dios le ayuda.

The e-conference started after I received your e-mail. It was about SLIP and netiquette. FYI, I will e-mail you the results. LOL.

Translation: La convención electrónica empezó después de que recibiese su correo electrónico. Se trató de protocolo Internet de línea serial y etiqueta de Internet. Para su información, le enviaré por correo electrónico los resultados. Riendo a carcajadas.

This unique feature is perhaps the most distinguishing factor that sets Translator apart from any other translation program. This feature is especially designed to make Translator a practical tool for the professional translator.

Take, for instance, the following sentence:

We found a bed.

The word “bed” in English has several meanings. Translator’s database covers five of them. In this sentence, there is no clue indicating which “bed” is meant. If the subject of the text were Geology, then “bed” would mean “stratum”, (lecho in Spanish). If the subject were Hotel Industry, then “bed” would mean “lodging” (alojamiento). In construction work, “bed” would have to be translated as “base”. And so on.

Since there are no further clues, Translator selects the most common translation, which is a “sleeping bed” (cama).

The advantage of using Translator Professional or Professional Plus is that the Interactive mode allows you, first, to see how many options you have, second, to select the correct option since each one has its meaning displayed in a tag in your own language and, finally, to immediately have the correct Spanish translation inserted in your text, with its correct spelling, conjugation and/or Spanish gender, all this without having to consult any other dictionary, paper or otherwise. You can do this with just a click of the mouse.

There is much, much more functionality inside Translator's Interactive mode. It will take you some time to master it, but once you have, you will definitely want to do all your translation jobs with this powerful tool.

[ - ]

MT + TM = WM Translator

Taking up again the example of the item above: we saw that in the sentence

We found a bed,

the word “bed” has multiple possible translations.

Suppose that you work in the field of Geology or Mineralogy. You probably will translate “bed “as “lecho” (stratum) most of the times. You can then use Translator's Translation Memory function: click on “bed”, then select the tag labeled “stratum”, and right click over it.

Ready! That’s all you have to do! From then on, every time that Translator finds “bed” it will translate it as “lecho”… until you decide to change it again.

You can add your own words too.

1. A thesaurus with simultaneous display of English and Spanish synonyms in mirrored windows.
2. A Verb Conjugator with simultaneous display of English and Spanish conjugations in mirrored windows.
3. A Phrase Scanner which searches for phrases, expressions and idioms based on a “concept” given as an entry.
4. A verb de-conjugator which finds the infinitive plus person and tense of any verb in English or Spanish when given the conjugated form as an entry.
5. Besides that, the mere size of the thesaurus is unmatched by any other book, printed or electronic. Four million synonyms is about 20 times larger than the largest thesaurus we know of, and about 50 times bigger than a large book of synonyms.
