Getting Started

Welcome to WordPoint! WordPoint lets you select words from Windows applications and display their translation in a ToolTip balloon, the WordPoint window, or both. You can either click the word with your mouse or simply hold the cursor over the word to display its translation. You can also enter words manually to be translated. If your version of WordPoint includes speech support, when you select an English word you can hear the word's pronunciation while viewing translations.

Follow these quick and easy steps to set up and use WordPoint the way that best suits your needs.

 WordPoint lets you translate between English and any other language that your version of the product supports. Click here to find out how to set your translation languages.

 You can choose the language of your user interface. Menus, dialog boxes, and error messages will appear in the language you select. Click here to find out how to select your user interface language.

 Next, you can decide how to use your mouse to identify words to translate. You can translate words either by holding the cursor over the word (Point Method) or by clicking the word (Click Method).

 If your version of the product includes speech support, you can set WordPoint to pronounce English words that you select with your mouse. Click here to learn how to set WordPoint's speech options.

 When you choose a word, its translation appears in a ToolTip balloon and in the WordPoint Main Window. Many words have more than one translation. You can limit the number of translations that appear in the balloon, while displaying the entire list of translations in the Main Window. If at any point you decide not to display the Main Window, you can hide it with a simple click of the mouse. You can re-display it just as easily. You can also choose to display translations in the Main Window only, and not to display translation balloons at all.

 WordPoint isn't limited to translating words that you select with the mouse. You can input words manually for WordPoint to translate. If your version of WordPoint includes speech support, you can hear the source word's pronunciation while viewing translations. When you input text, the keyboard matches whatever language you select as the source language. If you are not familiar with the keyboard layout of a language, you can refer to a keyboard map.

 When WordPoint cannot identify a word to translate, it displays an error message. Sometimes, the mouse may be off the edge of a word even though it seems to be on the word. Also, WordPoint does not identify words that are part of a graphic or other object embedded within a larger file. You may not realize that the word is part of an object, but if WordPoint cannot find the word, that is a likely reason.

 When you are not using WordPoint's mouse word selection, you can deactivate mouse word selection by clicking the WordPoint icon in the tray. This is usually preferable to exiting the program because you can continue to enter words to translate in the Main Window, and you can reactivate mouse word selection quickly by clicking the icon again.


The Main Window

You can view translations in the WordPoint Main Window, as well as in ToolTips. You can also enter text to translate in the Main Window. The Main Window contains a short menu bar, and a status bar to display error messages and tell you whether mouse word selection is active or inactive.

Whenever WordPoint is running, you can choose to display or not display the Main Window.

To display the Main Window, do one of the following:

•	Double-click the WordPoint tray icon.

•	Right-click the WordPoint tray icon and choose Show Window.

To hide the Main Window, do one of the following:

•	Click the Close button [image] on the upper right corner of the Main Window.

•	Right-click the WordPoint icon and choose Hide Window.

You can set WordPoint to always display the Main Window on top, even when a window from another program is active. This prevents other windows from blocking the WordPoint window. To keep the WordPoint Main Window always on top:

1.	From the Main Window's Translation menu, choose Properties.

2.	At the bottom of the Properties dialog box, select Always on top.

3.	Click OK.

In the picture below, click the section of the Main Window you are interested in for information on that section.

The Menu Bar

The WordPoint menu bar contains three items: Translation and Help, and a button for selecting your user interface language. If your version of WordPoint has speech support, the menu bar also includes Speech.

The Translation menu contains the following choices:

Activate/Deactivate: Activates and deactivates mouse word selection.

Properties: Displays the Properties dialog box. The Properties dialog box lets you select your Source and Target languages, adjust the ToolTip parameters, and determine the method of choosing words for WordPoint to translate. One other option in the Properties dialog box is whether to keep the Main Window on top at all times.

Exit: Exits WordPoint.

The Speech menu contains the following choices:

Speech On/Speech Off: Turns speech support on or off. This option is not available if you do not have a sound card installed on your computer.

Speech Properties: Lets you adjust the volume, rate and pitch of WordPoint's voice.

Note: WordPoint's speech support is for English words only. To use speech support, you must select English as your source language.

The Help menu contains the following choices:

Help Topics: Displays WordPoint online help.

About WordPoint: Displays version, copyright and support information. If your version of WordPoint has a registration number, this information is also displayed.

 The Globe button lets you select a user interface language. Click the button to display a list of available languages, then choose the language you want and click OK.

Source Text Box

Displays the word that WordPoint has most recently translated. If you enter text in this field and click Translate, WordPoint translates your text. If your version of WordPoint includes speech support, WordPoint also pronounces the word that you entered when you click Translate.

Display Area

This is where WordPoint displays translations. The word being translated appears in the left column. The translation or translations appear in the right column. The Gender and Part of Speech columns display the gender and part of speech (for example, noun, verb, etc.) of each translation (when available). When there are multiple translations, this helps you identify the appropriate translation to use. See the Abbreviation Guide for a key to the abbreviations used in the Gender and Part of Speech columns.

Note: Gender and Part of Speech information may not be available for all languages that your version of WordPoint supports.

Status Bar

The left of the status bar displays translation status. If WordPoint is ready for translation, it displays the word Ready. If WordPoint cannot translate a word that you selected, it displays an error message that provides you with further information.

The right of the status bar indicates whether mouse word selection is active or inactive.


The WordPoint Tray Icon

 When WordPoint is running, it displays an icon in the tray on the Windows taskbar. The WordPoint icon serves several functions:

•	Indicates whether mouse word selection is active or inactive.

•	Lets you display and hide the Main Window.

•	Contains a right-click menu that lets you display and hide the Main Window, activate and deactivate mouse word selection, define WordPoint properties, and perform several other actions.

Displaying State

You can tell by looking at the WordPoint icon whether mouse word selection is active or inactive.

•	  Mouse word selection is active.

•	   Mouse word selection is inactive.

You can also determine WordPoint's current state by holding the cursor over the icon. A balloon appears saying WordPoint translation is active or WordPoint translation is suspended.

Displaying the Main Window

To display WordPoint's Main Window, double-click the WordPoint icon.

Right-Click Menu

Right-click the WordPoint icon to display a menu containing the following items:

Show/Hide Window: Displays or hides the Main Window.

Activate/Deactivate: Activates or deactivates mouse word selection.

Speech On/Speech Off: Turns speech support on or off. This option appears only if your version of WordPoint includes speech support. (The option is not available if you do not have a sound card installed on your computer.)

Properties: Displays the Properties dialog box. The Properties dialog box lets you select your Source and Target languages, adjust the ToolTip parameters, and determine the method of using the mouse to choose words to translate. Another option in the Properties dialog box is whether to keep the Main Window on top at all times.

Help Topics: Displays WordPoint's online help.

About WordPoint: Displays version, copyright and support information. If your version of WordPoint has a registration number, this information is also displayed.

Exit: Exits WordPoint.


Setting User Interface Language

WordPoint’s menus, dialog boxes, and status bar messages, will all appear in the language that you select for your user interface. Your options include any one of the user interface languages that your version of WordPoint supports.

Note: You can only use the user interface languages that you installed during WordPoint's setup. Click here for information on installing additional user interface languages.

To select your user interface language:

1.	Click the Globe button [image] on the menu bar.

2.	Select the language you want and click OK.


Setting Translation Languages

You can use WordPoint to translate between English and any other language that your version of the product supports. The language you are translating from is called the Source language. The language you are translating into is called the Target language. English must be either the Source or the Target language. The initial translation direction is selected during the installation process.

Note: You can only use dictionaries that you installed during WordPoint setup. Click here for information on installing additional dictionaries.

To set the Source and Target languages:

1.	Do one of the following to display the Properties box:

•	Right-click the WordPoint icon and choose Properties.

•	In the Main Window, select Properties from the Translation menu.

2.	In the Translation Languages area, select your Source and Target language. One of these languages must be English.

3. 	Click OK.

Note: Some versions of WordPoint include speech support . To use speech support, you must select English as your source language. WordPoint's speech support pronounces English words only.


Mouse Word Selection

You can choose to translate words by either holding the cursor over the word (Point Method), or clicking the word (Click Method).

Point Method is recommended if you want to translate many words. It requires less time and effort to point than to click.

Click Method is recommended if you only occasionally want to translate a word. In Click Method, you can set a mouse click and key combination (for example, Shift+Ctrl+Right-click).

To determine how the mouse selects words:

1.	Do one of the following to display the Properties dialog box:

•	Right-click the WordPoint icon and choose Properties.

•	In the Main Window, select Properties from the Translation menu.

2.	In the Word Selection area, select Point Method or Click Method.

If you select Point Method, set in the Display after box the amount of time, in seconds, that the cursor must point to a word before the word is translated. A short delay saves time but might cause translations to appear when you don't really want them. A longer delay prevents unwanted translations from appearing, but increases the amount of time you must wait to see the translations you do want. If your version of WordPoint includes speech support, the Display after box also sets the amount of time that the cursor must point to a word before the word is pronounced.

If you select Click Method, set the parameters of the mouse click that WordPoint uses. You must make sure that WordPoint's mouse click does not conflict with the mouse clicks that you need for other programs. To do this, you should select a key to press with your click. For example, you can use Alt+Right click, which is WordPoint's default. This means to display a translation, hold down the Alt key and click once with the right mouse button.

There are two parameters to set in defining your Click Method. These parameters are located in the Word Selection area of the dialog box.

•	Set one or more keys to press in conjunction with the mouse click. The options are Shift, Ctrl, and Alt. You can choose one or more of these keys, or none. It is strongly recommended to choose at least one key to avoid conflicts with other programs.

•	Define which mouse button to use. Choose between the Left and Right mouse buttons. If you choose the left button, you must choose at least one key to press in conjunction with the mouse click.


Limitations on Mouse Word Selection

You cannot use the mouse to select words that are located within embedded objects. This includes most graphics and icons. This can also include text files that are embedded in another application. In the case of text files, you can sometimes overcome this limitation by double-clicking the text to open the file in its own application, then selecting words in that application.


Speech Support

If your version of WordPoint includes speech support, you can set WordPoint to pronounce the words that you select with your mouse. WordPoint pronounces each word when it displays the word's translation(s). Since WordPoint's speech support is for English words only, before using this feature you must select English as your source language.

While WordPoint is running, speech support can be turned on or off. Speech support can also be adjusted to a new volume, pitch or rate.

Note: If your version of WordPoint includes speech support but your menu bar does not display the Speech menu, you did not install the Speech sub-component of the program. To do so, run setup a second time. From the Select Components dialog box, select WordPoint, then select Speech. To use WordPoint's speech support, you must have a sound card installed on your computer.

To turn on speech support, do one of the following:

1.	From the Translation menu, select Properties. In the Source box, check that English is selected.

2.	Do one of the following:

•	From the Speech menu, select Speech On.

•	Right-click the tray icon and select Speech On.

To turn off speech support, do one of the following:

•	From the Speech menu, select Speech Off.

•	Right-click the tray icon and select Speech Off.

To adjust the properties of WordPoint's speech, select Speech Properties from the Speech menu. The Speech Properties box includes the following options:

Volume: Allows you to change the loudness of WordPoint's voice.

Pitch: Allows you to change voice pitch. WordPoint supports a range of

pitches, from a high alto to a low bass.

Rate: Allows you to speed up or slow down WordPoint's rate of

speech.


Manually Entering Text

You can enter words to translate manually in the Main Window. Enter the word you want WordPoint to translate in the Source text box and click Translate. The translation appears below in the right column. In versions of WordPoint that include speech support, WordPoint pronounces the word that you entered when it displays translations.

The keyboard uses whatever language you select as the source language. If you are unfamiliar with the keyboard layout of a language, you can refer to a keyboard map for that language.


Displaying Translations

WordPoint displays translations in two places:

•	A ToolTip balloon, which usually appears below the word being translated.

•	The Main Window.

In versions of WordPoint that include speech support, WordPoint pronounces the word that you selected when it displays translations.

You can display translations in both ToolTips and the Main Window, or the Main Window only. In both ToolTips and the Main Window, an abbreviation appears next to each translation (when available) indicating the type of word that is displayed (for example, noun, adjective, etc.). The Main Window also tells you the gender of each translation (when available). This helps you determine which is the most appropriate translation. Click here for a guide to the abbreviations used.

Viewing Translations in the Main Window

In the Main Window, the word or phrase being translated appears in the left column, and the translations appear in the right column. The Gender column indicates the gender of each translation (when available), and the Part of Speech column indicates the type of word for each translation (when available). The Main Window displays every translation that WordPoint finds in its database for that word. If you want to view translations in ToolTips only, you can hide the Main Window.

Note: Gender and Part of Speech information may not be available in all languages that your version of WordPoint supports.

Viewing Translations in ToolTips

You can limit the number of translations that appear in ToolTips. You can also define the amount of time that ToolTips appear. If you want to display translations in the Main Window only, you can eliminate the ToolTips completely.

ToolTip settings are defined in the ToolTips area of the Properties dialog box. To display the Properties dialog box, do one of the following:

•	Right-click the WordPoint icon and choose Properties.

•	In the Main Window, select Properties from the Translation menu.

To limit the amount of time WordPoint ToolTips appear, set the amount of time you want (in seconds) in the Display for box. ToolTips will disappear after the amount of time that you set. They also disappear when you do the following:

•	Move the mouse from the selected word.

•	Click any mouse button.

To limit the number of translations that appear in ToolTips, set the maximum number of translations you want in the Max. number of translations box. The default is five. You can specify any number from one to five, or All. When the ToolTip balloon does not include all the translations that WordPoint has found for a word, it includes an ellipsis at the bottom of the balloon. A full list of translations appears in the Main Window.

Note: Translations do not necessarily appear in order of usefulness. Thus, when the number of translations in the ToolTip is limited, the most appropriate translation may often not be among those that appear.

To eliminate ToolTips, clear the Show tooltips box. Select the Show tooltips box to display ToolTips.


Translation Tips

When you enter or select a word that is part of a well-known idiomatic phrase, WordPoint often provides a translation of the phrase along with one or more translations of the word itself. Phrase translations appear in the Main Window, but not in ToolTip balloons.

WordPoint translates possessives and plurals; however, the translations are not displayed in their possessive or plural form. For example, shoes is translated as shoe, city's is translated as city. WordPoint translates words in any tense, but displays translations in present infinitive tense. For example, followed and following are both translated as follow.

WordPoint does not translate contractions, such as don't, won't, shouldn't, etc.

WordPoint also does not translate abbreviations containing periods after each letter (for example, T.V., U.F.O.). To translate such an abbreviation, you must enter it manually in the Source text box in WordPoint's Main Window, using either no periods or a period at the end of the word only.


Abbreviation Guide

The following is a list of abbreviations used in the Gender and Part of Speech columns of the Display Area in the Main Window. These abbreviations appear in the Source language. Thus, if you are translating from English, the abbreviations appear in English.

Note: The Part of Speech column often displays compound abbreviations, such as intr. v. (intransitive verb). The Abbreviation Guide lists each abbreviation separately. For example, there is no entry for intr. v.; you must look up intr., then v.

Click the language you are using as your Source language to see abbreviations for that language. For non-English languages, the Abbreviation Guide displays the word in both the Source language and English.

Gender and Part of Speech information may not be available for all languages that your version of WordPoint supports.

Error Messages

When WordPoint cannot identify the word underneath the cursor or cannot find a translation for the word, it displays an error message. Error messages appear in the status bar of the Main Window. Abbreviated error messages also appear in ToolTip balloons.

Note: In Point Method, only the second message (listed below) appears in ToolTips.

There are two possible error messages:

No source word was found under the cursor. This indicates that WordPoint cannot identify the word underneath the cursor. Usually, the reason is that either the cursor is in a non-text area, or that it is not placed directly over the word. Or, the cursor may be pointing to a word that is part of a graphic or other object embedded within a larger file. WordPoint can only identify words that appear as text; it cannot identify words that are part of embedded objects, such as graphics.

Note: Sometimes, you can double-click an embedded object to display the object in its own application. WordPoint may then be able to identify the word.

No translation is available for this word. This indicates that although WordPoint identified the word, it does not have a translation for the word in its dictionary. In versions of WordPoint that include speech support, WordPoint pronounces the selected source word even though it does not display any translations.


Suspending Mouse Word Selection

If you do not want to use mouse word selection, you can deactivate it by clicking the WordPoint icon in the tray. You can reactivate it by clicking the icon again.

You can also activate or deactivate mouse word selection by choosing Activate or Deactivate from the Translation menu in the Main Window.

The WordPoint icon shows you whether mouse word selection is currently active or inactive.

•	 Mouse word selection is active.

•	  Mouse word selection is inactive.

You can determine WordPoint's current state by holding the cursor over the icon. A balloon appears saying WordPoint translation is active or WordPoint translation is suspended.

The Main Window also shows WordPoint's current state in the status bar.


Keyboard Maps

When you manually enter text in the Main Window, the keyboard uses whatever language you select as the source language. If you are not familiar with the keyboard layout of a language you are using, you can refer to a keyboard map.

Click the name of a language to see a keyboard map for that language.

Note: Your version of WordPoint may not include all of the languages listed below. Different versions of the product contain different language support.

English / Dutch / French / German / Hebrew / Italian / Spanish

Adding Dictionaries and User Interface Languages

When you run WordPoint, you can only use dictionaries and user interface languages that you installed during setup. For example, if you installed the English to Spanish dictionary but not the Spanish to English dictionary, you can translate from English to Spanish, but not from Spanish to English.

To add new dictionaries or user interface languages, you can run WordPoint's setup a second time. To install new dictionaries, select only the Dictionaries component, then select the dictionaries that you want to add. To install new user interface languages, select only the UI Language component, then select the user interface languages that you want to add.


Exiting WordPoint

When you are not using WordPoint and you don't want mouse word selection to be active, you can deactivate it by clicking the WordPoint icon in the tray. This is usually preferable to exiting the program because you can reactivate mouse word selection quickly by clicking the icon again.

If you do want to exit, do one of the following:

•	Right-click the WordPoint icon and choose Exit.

•	In the Main Window , choose Exit from the Translation menu.


Troubleshooting

Check the ReadMe for other limitations that may not be covered in the online help.

•	WordPoint uses Accent Software International's text-grabbing system to let you look up words from other programs by clicking or pointing to them with your mouse. If you are already running another program using Accent's text-grabbing system, such as Webster's New World Dictionary and Thesaurus, you cannot run WordPoint until you close the other program.

•	WordPoint ToolTips sometimes override ToolTips used by other programs. This is only a problem in Point Method, not in Click Method. If you want to see a non-WordPoint ToolTip without deactivating WordPoint's mouse word selection in Point Method, make sure the cursor is not over any text. For example, you can place the cursor on a blank area or over an icon, graphic, or other non-text object. If this is not possible, use Click Method in programs where you find that there is a ToolTip conflict.

•	If your version of WordPoint includes speech support but your menu bar does not display the Speech menu, you did not install the Speech sub-component of the program. To do so, run setup a second time. From the Select Components dialog box, select WordPoint, then select Speech. To use WordPoint's speech support, you must have a sound card installed on your computer. Since WordPoint's speech support is for English words only, before using this feature you must select English as your source language.
