WSedit supports two kinds of translation: Bubble Translation and Dialog Translation. Normally you will use Bubble Translation when reading a text in a foreign language and Dialog Translation when writing a text in a foreign language.
To use translation functionality, you have to download the translation dictionary files from http://www.WriteAndSet.com (yet only German to English and English to German). Then copy the two files to the location where WSedit.exe resides and fill out the settings notebook Dict Page.
Bubble Translation: After typing ^OT, words or expressions at the mouse position are translated and the result is shown in a yellow bubble help window.
Dialog Translation: ^OV activates a dialog where you can enter the expression into the edit field. In the Listbox below, several possible translations are shown. If Bubble Translation is also activated, these several possible translations are re-translated in parenthesis so it will be easier to select the correct translation.
The re-translation has the effect of a Thesaurus: a single expression translated to another language and re-translated back will show 10 or 20 slightly different expressions.
Double clicking to a listbox item or single clicking and
pressing OK copies the translated expression into the Trash
buffer. It can be copied to the cursor position by
typing ^U.
