List of Free Translation Software


Language-translation-help.com has received requests to provide a list of free translation software. There are so many free translation-related software products of all sorts on the Net that such a list can be very long. So I have limited it to a few products that may be worthy of being noted. However, I can’t guarantee the quality of these products. Neither can I personally endorse them.

Here is this list of free translation software with brief descriptions:

1. Freelang Dictionary for Windows. Size: 443 KB. Easy to install. Bilingual dictionary software (into/from English). 260+ dictionaries are available. Languages vary from commonly spoken, such as Spanish, German and French, to more rare, such as Ch'ti, Lak, Maxakali and Võro, to name a few. You should download and install the main program and then the language packages you need.

2. OmegaT for Linux, Mac, Windows 98 or higher. Size: 21.97 MB. A free translation memory tool intended for professional translators. It will not translate documents for you; however it has an interface to automatic translation provided by Google Translate. OmegaT sends a segment of a text to Google Translate and displays the resulting automatic translation in a separate window. Translators can then post-edit this translation. If you are a professional translator and have not yet bought a CAT tool, try this free translation software to see how translation memory tools work. OmegaT can be used with non-Latin alphabets, can work with right-to-left languages and is compatible with other translation memory applications (TMX).

3. Traductor Global 2.0 for Windows. Size: 721 KB. This free translation software product automatically translates English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Greek, Arabic, Chinese (traditional and simplified), Korean, and Japanese. How it works: select source and target languages; paste the content to be translated in a special box; click and get the translation. Global Translator can translate words, texts of up to 6,000 words, and Web pages.

4. Programma Dizionario for Windows. An Italian dictionary program. Italian into/from 70 languages. First you should download and install a core program (394 KB). After that, you should download and install a dictionary of your choice. The site is in Italian. However, quick instructions in English are available.

5. TranslateIt! for Windows Mobile. Size: 5.4 MB - 25.7 MB, depending on the product version. A free Russian-English-Russian dictionary that runs on PDAs. It will help to read news, emails and ebooks and communicate with foreigners. How it works: you select an unknown word and press a hot key; a translation appears instantly in a pop-up window. TranslateIt! for PDAs will translate from English to Russian and from Russian into English. The English-Russian dictionary has more than 108,000 entries, the Russian-English contains more than 66,000 entries. A description of this product and its download page are available only in Russian.

6. Wikitup for Windows. Size: 4,944 KB. A free multilingual desktop dictionary. To get a translation of a word on the screen, press CTRL + click the word to look up. In addition, it is possible to find related images, videos and songs. This dictionary uses information from Wikipedia, Wiktionary, YouTube, Picasa and other resources.
