Bubble Translator: Dictionary Functionality

Select a single word with the mouse and run the Pop-up Bubble application. Pop-up Bubble Translator will display a word translations provided the dictionary is enabled in Pop-up Bubble Options.

Dictionary's Providers

Some of the translation providers support dictionaries. During the dictionary's translation, ImTranslator switches to the first provider that supports a dictionary.  New dictionary's providers will be available soon.

Choose Correct Language

There may be cases when the language detection tool doesn't identify the language of a source word correctly. This may happen to the languages of the same language group (i.e. Slavic languages), or to the loan-words.

If you know the language of the word you want to translate, select the known language (i.e. Russian) and mark the "Lock-in language" checkbox to secure the language. This will disable the auto language detection and secure the chosen language.

Listen to the Translations

The Dictionary includes the voice functionality.  This feature is currently available for 30 languages.
Click the "Speaker" icon to initiate the voice.  You can listen to the original word and its translation.

The Advanced Options allow to choose the TTS service: ImTranslator TTS or an alternative TTS service.

Reverse Translations

Next to each dictionary translation, you can see a number of reverse translations back to the original language.  Clicking on the reverse translation will change the original word and display its own set of translations with the corresponding reverse translations.

Use Translation History

Translation History keeps track of all your translation activity and stores translation records in the Translation History.

To add records to the translation history, you need to "Enable Pop-up Bubble translation history" either in the Translation History panel or in the Pop-up Bubble panel.

After you enabled the Translation History, all of the translations will be recorded and stored along with its source text.
