Hi,
I meant a program where you do the translation of foreign language by
yourself, and the program then saves the translated phrases/words, so that
you don't have to translate the same phrases twice. Thus, you teach the
program to do the job for you little by little.
Hope this cleared a bit,
Veley

Veley,
Your message was a bit unclear, but if you are looking for foreign
language translation tools, try:
babelfish.altavista.com
This is an on-line language translation tool, and it offers a good variety
of languages to choose from. It is quite JAWS friendly.
Keep in mind, however, that no translation program will give you a perfect
translation, and depending on the text being translated, the results can
be pretty strange at times.
I'm fluent in Spanish and Portuguese, and was curious about how well the
translator at babelfish would work on certain phrases. I gave it the
following phrase:
Cock the hammer.
I asked that the above phrase be translated into Spanish, and got the
following Result:
Marte el martillo.
The above phrase literally means "Hammer the hammer." Wrong!
But you get what you pay for, which in this case cost nothing.

Hi Listers,
Do you have any ideas of a good translation application, which is highly
accessible with JAWS? I mean, a translation memory program or something
like
that, with which you have positive experiences?
Thanks,
Veley
