Ace Translator 14.7

Ace Translator is a very handy and lightweight translation tool that supports 91 popular worldwide languages. The program's user interface is really intuitive and couldn't be any easier to use. Even complete beginners can get their letters, articles, messages, e-mails and virtually any piece of text translated among all the supported languages, by simply clicking a button.

Despite its simplicity, Ace Translator offers you several novel features that you will hardly find in other translation tools. First of all, the program supports automatic language detection for the source text, which happens to be a very useful feature if you are not sure about the source language. Second, the program features text-to-speech support for 46 languages. This means that you can listen to both the source and the translated texts, which in turn makes it possible to use the program as a basic language-learning support tool. Ace Translator also allows you to save the audio as an MP3 file, to save both the source and translated texts as text files or HTML files, and to print any of them.

As I mentioned before, the program is really easy to use. You just need to type or paste your source text and select the target language. You can also open an existing text file, HTML file or PDF file to be translated. As for the source language, you can select it explicitly, or let the program detect it automatically for you. Alternatively, you can also use the "Languages" menu to set the source/target language pair. Then you simply need to click the "Translate" button and wait for the program to complete the task. Ace Translator uses online translation engines to do its job, so that you need to keep an active Internet connection while using it.

To sum up, Ace Translator may be the right tool for you if you simply need to translate short to medium sized pieces of text between different languages. Unfortunately, you just have 14 days to test the program before you need to buy a license to continue using it. Also, the program is a bit expensive as compared with other translators - about $110 per user.
