1. WORD TRANSLATOR FOR WINDOWS SHAREWARE VERSION
This shareware version of Word Translator for Windows may be freely
copied and distributed to whomever you choose. However, please
understand that the software is owned by and is the intellectual
property of Translation Experts Limited. Word Translator for Windows
is copyright ⌐1990-1995 Translation Experts Limited. All rights
reserved. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify,
adapt, translate or otherwise create derivative software programs
from this shareware version of the Word Translator program nor any
of its associated files.
To order a registered version, open the "INFO.WRI" file by double-
clicking on the "Product & Ordering Information" icon in the Word
Translator PROGRAM GROUP window that is created AFTER Word Translator
for Windows is installed or double-click on the INFO.WRI file name
in your File Manager window.
2. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SHAREWARE & REGISTERED VERSIONS
This shareware version of Word Translator for Windows accomplishes
ALL of the functions the registered version does. However, registered
versions contain "paired" or "coupled" bilingual dictionary modules
with SUBSTANTIALLY more "base word" and phrase entries, for some
languages, over 128,000 combined entries in both "paired" dictionary
modules versus the +/- 5,000 contained in shareware versions.
Most registered versions also contain a Grammar help file and, for
Russian, Serbian Cyrillic, Polish and Croatian dictionary modules,
pre-made and installed ".cpc" files (Code Page conversion tables)
that will, for example, convert Code Page 866 text to Code Page 1251
or Code Page 852 text to Code Page 1250.
The "paired" or "coupled" bilingual dictionaries provided with
shareware versions of Word Translator for Windows are a random
compilation of "base words" and phrases (together with their associated
translations) taken from the largest dictionary module available for
the specific language. They are only intended to provide a sampling
of the entries contained in the dictionary modules provided with
registered versions. They are not intended to be all inclusive.
Because the quality of the results obtained from Word Translator's
Spell-Checking, Prediction & Spell-Checking, "standard" (interactive)
Document Translation and (automatic) Quick Document Translation modes
are directly dependent upon the size of the dictionary employed, the
larger dictionary modules provided with registered versions of Word
Translator for Windows are substantially more helpful when used with
these features.
You may freely copy and distribute this shareware version of Word
Translator for Windows to friends, relatives, associates and/or others
who may be interested in evaluating the program. But if you use the
program for more than thirty days, we ask that you please register
your copy. The financial support provided by registered users allows
us to improve the quality of Word Translator software as well as
continue to develop other language dictionaries and software products.
To order a registered version, double-click the Product & Ordering
Information icon in the Word Translator program group window to view
the info.wri document (in Windows Write format). This file contains
the latest information about available bilingual dictionary modules,
prices, ordering options and instructions as well as order forms for
both Word Translator for Windows and Word Translator for DOS. You may
print-out any individual page (including the order forms) or the entire
document by selecting Print from the Windows Write File menu.

for Russian and Serbian Cyrillic and East European (Polish, Serbian

3. ABOUT WORD TRANSLATOR FOR WINDOWS VERSION 3.0
Word Translator for Windows is the bilingual, bi-directional word/phrase
dictionary and translation program used all over the world for teaching,
learning and working with languages. With it, you can quickly and easily
translate individual words and phrases or even complete documents
word-by-word and phrase-by-phrase from English to another language or
from another language to English. Word Translator for Windows uses the
most advanced state-of-the-art computer algorithms to achieve the fastest
dictionary access of any program of its kind anywhere. Word Translator's
modest system requirements, memory-resident capabilities, ease of use,
intelligent interface and fast operation have already made it a favorite
in Europe.
Word Translator for Windows works unobtrusively with most popular Windows
word processing programs, many major Windows applications and, with many
currently available languages/dictionary modules, even Windows Write and
Notepad. Word Translator for Windows is also fully compatible with many
popular Windows network systems.
With Word Translator for Windows you can easily add new "base words,"
phrases and even short sentences to the dictionary that reflect your
individual business or personal needs. Word Translator for Windows also
automatically writes Reverse Translations of every new word, phrase and
translation you enter so there's no need to enter them more than once
to have them available in both languages, in both directions.
Word Translator for Windows provides two different Document Translation
modes that help you to translate any text you desire--sentences,
paragraphs and even complete documents--word-by-word and phrase-by-phrase
quickly and easily. Either Document Translation mode is great for
producing first rough translations. And Word Translator also provides
fast and accurate as-you-type Spell-Checking in the "source" language of
any dictionary module.

and accented characters or between typing English and Russian, Polish,

5. ".EXE" FILES INCLUDED WITH RUSSIAN, SERBIAN CYRILLIC, POLISH,
CROATIAN AND SERBIAN LATIN VERSIONS
Russian, Serbian Cyrillic, Polish, Croatian and Serbian Latin dictionary
versions install a CODE.EXE or CODE_KBD.EXE file in the "default" WINTRAN
directory. This CODE.EXE or CODE_KBD.EXE file will extract a file named
CODE.WRI or CODE_KBD.WRI (in Windows Write format) that contains pictures
of EITHER the three parts of the Windows Cyrillic or East European Code
Page (IBM Code Page 1251 or IBM Code Page 1250) that you may print just
as you would print any other ".WRI" file and use as a reference. The
CODE_KBD.EXE file installed with Polish, Croatian and Serbian Latin and
Serbian Cyrillic versions will also contain alternative keyboard layouts
that you may want to use as a reference to change the keyboard layout.
Russian versions also contain PHONETIC.EXE, RUS_FED.EXE and AATSEEL.EXE
files that are installed in the "default" WINTRAN directory. The extracted
PHONETIC.EXE, RUS_FED.EXE and AATSEEL.EXE files ALL create RUSENG.KBD and
ENGRUS.KBD files which, in turn, (when copied to your WINTRAN directory
to REPLACE (overwrite) existing files of the SAME NAME) will change your
Russian Keyboard Layout to either the PHONETIC/HOMOPHONIC, RUSSIAN
FEDERATION or AATSEEL (American Association of Teachers of Slavic and
East European Languages) Keyboard Layout.
6. EXTRACTING FILES FROM AN ".EXE" FILE
Go to File Manager and find the "default" WINTRAN directory. Locate
the ???.EXE file you wish to extract and double-click DIRECTLY
on the ???.EXE file name in your Windows File Manager window -- OR --
From the C:\> prompt, type CD space and the name of the directory
containing the ???.EXE file (WINTRAN) and press the <enter> key. At
the C:\WINTRAN> prompt, type the name of the ???.EXE file (e.g.
CODE.EXE) and press the <enter> key. The ???.EXE file will self-extract
on to your hard disk in the WINTRAN directory containing the ???.EXE
file. With the PHONETIC.EXE, RUS_FED.EXE and AATSEEL.EXE files, you
will be prompted to type y (for yes) or n (for no) to OVERWRITE
existing files of the SAME name. To change to a different keyboard,
type y (for yes).
