w0lf's Translator (uses Google translate engine)
 

Great program!

COPIED from XDA-developers page:

Wolf's Translator uses the Google Translate engine to provide translations.
It's a small program I wrote, because I find it useful to be able to translate From/To so many languages at any time and it's much easier to use on the mobile phone than the web-based version of Google Translate.

In order to run the program, .Net Compact Framework 3.5 has to be installed on the device. (you can download it from here)
Of course, you also need an active Internet Connection.

Currently, the following languages are supported by Google Translate:
- Arabic
- Bulgarian
- Catalan
- Chinese
- Chinese Simplified
- Chinese Traditional
- Croatian
- Czezh
- Danish
- Dutch
- English
- Finnish
- French
- German
- Greek
- Hebrew
- Hindi
- Indonesian
- Italian
- Japanese
- Korean
- Latvian
- Lithuanian
- Norwegian
- Polish
- Portuguese
- Romanian
- Russian
- Serbian
- Slovak
- Slovenian
- Spanish
- Swedish
- Tagalog
- Ukrainian
- Vietnamese

Please note that the translations are not always very accurate, but if you have a text in a different language you don't know, it gives you a good idea about what it means in most of the cases.

A nice feature of Google Translate (also present in the application) is the Language Auto Detect feature: you have a text written in I don't know what language, I tell it to translate to English, for example, and it not only translates it, but also shows the language of the source text (try this by checking the Autodetect FROM Language check box).

A feature that right now is missing, but I'm planning to include in a future version is being allowed to save the favourite language pair, so when you open the program it will automatically select your favourite languages.

This program has been tested so far on HTC Touch Diamond, HTC Touch Pro (VGA) and HTC P3600(Trinity) (QVGA).

Considering our office is about to open a branch in Mexico, this could come in very handy, thanks for posting it here for us.

thanks I look forward to the future changes he wants to add as well

Re: w0lf's Translator (uses Google translate engine)
 

Would be very cool if it could use MS Voice Command, or another app, to speak the translation for you.

Re: w0lf's Translator (uses Google translate engine)
 

totally agree, i work for a japanese owned company and written pronunciations are ofter VERY different from the spoken lol

Re: w0lf's Translator (uses Google translate engine)
 

very nice program but how come I get a square symbol sometimes in the translation that seems to replace a letter?

Re: w0lf's Translator (uses Google translate engine)
 

prolly means you dont have that character(s) needed to display the letter in it's native form...

Re: w0lf's Translator (uses Google translate engine)
 

any chance you'd know how to display japanese characters with this app then? i put ms gothic in my windows/fonts folder, so i can read japanese on PIE, but this google app doesn't seem to pick it up... I saw over at xda someone post a screen shot of translating to japanese, so i'm trying to track down why i can't get it to work on my touch pro..

this program has some good potential. i cant wait to see how the dev makes out with it in future releases...
