Ultralingua French-English Dictionary 7.0.2 Free download

Pros: Wide vocab base for collegiate and non specialised pro use. Speed: results as-you-type. OneClick back translations. Lots of examples of language in use. Grammar sections. The Conjugator, the Forum, and best of all the HOTKEY. Cons: Minor: Needs some improvement to the language selector system when working in multiple languages on one document. Not enough free upgrades. Could do with an 'insert' button to put a found result directly into a work document. I've been using Ultralingua since around 1999 when it was one of the first electronic dicos for Mac & PC on the market, and over the years I've experimented with many others. I've always appreciated its uncluttered resizable interface and results display. The lexical info is excellent and offers more than most dicos in the same price range. There may be an occasional word missing, but it is not a problem. Other dictionaries from large traditional publishers have a similar rate of incuracies. Particularly useful is the conjugator although I don' t need to use it much except for rare subjunctives etc. Very stable application, rarely if ever, causes any crashes. Low memory and CPU consumption. I'm very satisfied. I'm a professional translator, and see no need to change. I also use Ultralingua for Spanish/English, German/English, and German/French
General rate: Positive
