FreeTranslator Help

How to use FreeTranslator:

Install FreeTranslator

FreeTranslator does not require installation. You just need to copy and paste it's folder where you prefer.
However it is necessary to install Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 to run FreeTranslator.

If you are under Linux you need Mono Framework 2.0 and SQLite 3.6.x library (the precompiled library libsqlite3.so is included into the FreeTranslator.zip archive but, on some systems, you explicitly need to install it from your distribution precompiled binaries).

There are two ways to translate a word:

2) Search on a single Dictionary: Search on a selected dictionary from the combo-box.

Type the word you want to translate and press "Translate".
If there are translations of the word, these will appear in the translation box.

Translate using Dict.org

If there isn't the direct translation of the word, you can try to translate using the Dict.org Search

 Why do you put advertise banners?
FreeTranslator is Free... but servers and bandwidth aren't... :-)
Then, to let FreeTranslator to be free of charge, I decided to put Advertise Banners on my translator.
