Other changes to policies and service
- Added the Travel Translator package, a low price package that includes 16 dictionaries
to and from English. This is ideal for those who want to learn the basic vocalbury for
languages or translate common words when travelling to foreign countries.

corrections to dictionaries and get free updates to their dictionaries in return.

those dictionaries for use in Word Translator. See the "Partner programs" file
for more information.
- Added official mailing list to improve user support.
- MacWay readers that order 2 dictionaries get the third one of equal size free.
The partner program
Because users can add and modify entries we have chance to expand and improve the
dictionaries by adding entries that users send in. To encourage users to contribute
the WT Partner program offers anyone that sends in 2500 or more entries a free
dictionary of size I( <50.000 words) and a lifetime free subscription to the dictionary
he contributes entries to. The added entries must pass the quality test and must be new
or substantially improvements or corrections.
The Travel Translator package
For just $49 you can get 16 dictionaries with 10.000 words each. They contain
common words from the following languages>
Spanish, Portuguese, German, Danish, Polish, Russian, Italian and Norwegian.
Each dictionary is both from and to English.
