As time passed by, we grew more and more apart from each other, developing new civilizations, thus different ways to communicate and interact.

With all its potential, the birth of the computer didn’t completely dissolve this issue, but it is one step closer to keeping cultures intact while enabling a global understanding. Google brought about its Translator, quickly catching ground through innovation.

As such, developers came up with ways to integrate this easier in your system, without the need of specialized online services. One suitable example is Babylon, which is described below.

Easy-Peasy Translation

Before going on, you need to go here, download, and install Babylon.

If you happen to be using Microsoft Office, then integration is as easy as it gets. Babylon cleverly creates a context menu entry with which to easily translate a portion of text in up to 77 (so far) different languages.

The interface is structured in two sections. One of them enables you to quickly look up Terms of interest, and greatly comes in handy for specialized domains of activity. You simply need to write down the word in your language, press the + button to choose the translation, and let Babylon take care of the rest.

Text Translation is similar to Google Translate, with an upper text field dedicated to input, while the other shows the translation. Two drop-down menus let you pick active languages, while the Translate button hopefully provides an accurate result, and it does so in the majority of scenarios.
