- 1. ABOUT WORD TRANSLATOR FOR WINDOWS
-
- 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.
-

- 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

- to REPLACE (overwrite) existing files of the SAME NAME) will change your
- Russian Keyboard Layout to either the PHONETIC/HOMOPHONIC, RUSSIAN

- containing the ???.EXE file (WINTRAN) and press the <enter> key. At

- 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
