I LOVE THIS APP....Its a Major Time-Saver!

I LOVE THIS APP! I was skeptical of this, since there are so many free translating apps out there….but you get what you pay for, and this is BY FAR the best translation tool out there (it basically give you the power of Google Translate as a "widget" for the Mac that’s always there and always ready without needing to open a browser….it just sits quietly in the upper right menu bar (near the clock and Spotlight Search) until it’s needed.

When I need to translate something for work (which is MANY times per day, since I work at a Spanish language TV and radio broadcasting company, but my Spanish is not perfect), the Translate Tab is always available....I dont need to leave the program Im using (Word, PowerPoint, my browser, etc.)....I just select the text I want translated, copy it, click the icon in the upper menu bar, and paste the text into a nice, easy to use translate pane that pulls down in the upper right corner of the screen.

Previously, I had have to open or switch to my browser, call up Google Translate, and translate the text that way, but this saves me about 30-60 seconds each time I use it (sometimes more), and because I use it 30-40 times a day, it ends up saving me a LOT of time!).

SECRET TIP: I just realized last week that you can right-click on your selected text in most programs (but MS Word), and the menu that shows up now includes a new menu item from Translate Tab….it asks whether you want to "Translate selection using Translate Tab”….if you pick that, and you dont even need to cut & paste….it pulls down the Translate Tab widget automatically, and by the time you glance up to the upper right corner of the screen, the text is already translated!

A great simple app, and WELL WORTH the money!
