My favorite daily translation tool is the portable version of Lingoes Translator (1) on a synced SugarSync Folder
After installation (many languages) it works with individually downloadable and selectable dictionaries or online translation services. I like it very much, that I get a quick translation of a text, if I copy it in the clipboard. This is really very comfortable.
The portable version is ideal for use on my Sugarsync folders, which are synchronized on my 2 computers (office and private).
(1) http://www.lingoes.net/en/translator/download.htm

SugarSync also available for WM, as a portable-app and with free 2.5-10 GB instead only 2GB
SugarSync has 3 advantages in comparison with other online-memory services:
(A)
Link to the download of the portable app:
http://www.portable.bg/en/component/search/Sugarsync/?ordering=&searchphrase=all
The portable SugarSync-app should be able to run even on a computer, where you do not have administrator rights
for the installation procedure, e.g. to run from a USB-memory-stick
(B)
With the following Bonus-Registration link you start SugarSync (only a few weeks) with 2.5 GB instead normally only 2.0 GB:
http://bit.ly/bxgp6f and you can reach a maximum of 10GB and more for free usage.
(C) SugarSync is also available for Windows Mobile devices. This is an advantage in comparison with Dropbox or SpiderOak,
which have no Windows Mobile versions to sync folders from the WM-device with your desktop computers.

I notice that, for example, Google Translate is more popular around here than Lingoes. And that's fine...

...but the reader should know that there's a Google Translate downloadable thingy for Lingoes... so one could have Lingoes and STILL have the most popular Google Translate running within it.

For whatever that's worth.

Remember, too, that Lingoes is more than just a translator. That, in fact, is what I use it for the least. For me, it's the dictionaries, thesaurus, currency converter, and some other stuff. That said, the translation part is way cool, too.

I'm actually the one who submitted Lingoes to this web site... even though I'm not its author or have anything to do with the company. It's just that I throught Lingoes was so much better than CERTAINLY all the freeware alternatives, and pretty much even most of the commercial ones, that I figured everyone should know about it.

I, personally, couldn't live without it. But I admit that it does take a little time figuring out which dictionaries and other stuff to download; then precisely the order they should be in, and then exactly how to configure every last little thing. I'm still tweaking it a little to get everything just right. It's really something, though. I actually used it to replace, believe it or not, a full commercial version of Bablefish. It's that good.

Hope that helps!

Indeed the best free offline and online translator, with many free premium dictionary from Longman, Websters, Collins,... and Wikipedia, Google dict. Also support English-Vietnamese translation with colorful, easy to read layout too. Super good as an alternative to Babylon commercial software which cost a lot.

I made a short test translation from german to english with 4 online translation products:

(a) http://translate.google.com
(b) http://translator.vndv.com/
(c) http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translatetxt
(d) PROMPT Translator:
http://www.online-translator.com/Default.aspx/Text?prmtlang=en
(e) http://alternativeto.net/desktop/lingoes-translator-2/

My personal impression: until last year I used Google Translate.
But PROMPT Translator and Babelfish had better translation results.

Because of this since many month I use the PROMPT Translator almost every day as my standard translator.

Today I discovered Lingoes Translator: http://alternativeto.net/desktop/lingoes-translator-2/
After installation (many languages) it works with individually downloadable and selectable dictionaries or online translation services. I like it very much, that I get a quick translation of a text, if I copy it in the clipboard. This is really very comfortable.
