Just imagine being able to translate documents written in French, Portuguese, German, Spanish, Italian and Japanese instantly on your own PC.

This remarkable software adds a menu item to the Microsoft Office 2000 suite of applications, allowing users to translate directly from their favourite program (it also works with MS Office 95 & 97). It is also compatible with Corel WordPerfect versions 7, 8 & 9.

Simply highlight the text to be translated, click your mouse and an instant translation appears. The software works both ways. In other words, it can translate from English to French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese or Japanese or from any of those languages into English.

Installation is easy and operation is relatively simple. It takes a few minutes to grasp the way the package works but in the main, L&H Power Translator Pro is both intuitive and straightforward.

The downside has to be in the nature of the translation. Power Translator Pro essentially offers a word-for-word translation that does not take into account the various accepted meanings of words in common usage. This can occasionally produce some highly amusing text!

In the main, L&H Power Translator Pro is an easy way to get a good general idea of a documents contents but should not be relied upon for really important communications.
