I bet there is a error message, its probably a standard Java stack trace. This would mean that output would be sent to a command window, but that requires you to have started BB from the command window. What happens if you start it that way?
A proper logging system does need to be created as starting from the command line is not a normal windows way of doing things.

When I type in text, I can translate it just fine. However, when I open a file when I choose the translate command on the menu, BB just disappears. It closes itself. I have tried this with a couple XML files with the same result. There is no error log or any other new file created when this happens. Just FYI.
