Translating a conversation

Once you have selected a Language Pair, you can type text in English or the target language. Globalink Power Translator will automatically detect the correct source (original) language. If the program cannot determine the source language, it will ask you to confirm it.

Type the text you wish to translate in the small box at the bottom of the window. Then, click on the Translate button. Your original text and the translated text will appear in the large box at the top of the Conversation window.


Selecting a language pair

When you run Conversation, you will be prompted to select the Source/Target Language Pair you wish to use (if there is more than one language pair installed on your computer). After you select the appropriate language pair and click on OK, the Conversation window will appear.  If you need to change the language pair, click on the Pairs button. If there is only one language pair available the Pairs button is disabled.

Conversation will automatically detect the correct source language (the language in which you are typing). If the program cannot determine the source language, it will ask you to confirm it.


Source/Target Language Pair

Any operation that is associated with a specific translation direction requires that you select a Source/Target Language Pair.  When translating, the Source/Target Language Pair indicates the direction you wish to translate.

The Source is the language you wish to translate from.

The Target is the language you wish to translate to.

For example, if you wish to translate English to Spanish, English is the Source and Spanish is the Target.

When working with the dictionaries or setting options, the Source/Target Language Pair identifies the appropriate files to be modified. For example, if you wish to add an English word with a corresponding Spanish translation, English is the Source and Spanish is the Target.

To select a Source/Target Language Pair, click on the pair you wish to choose and click on OK.
