Language barriers are usually overcome using translators, in person or as a service. We have told you about several tools which allow you to translate Word documents ^[1], translate PDF files and documents ^[2], use an  instant messenger for translation ^[3] and a free desktop translator ^[4].

To add to that list, we came across and application called AirTranslate, which is based on the Adobe Air ^[5] platform. AirTranslate makes use of the Google translation engine to provide you with a desktop tool to translate content on your desktop.

Techie Buzz Verdict

Adobe Air applications are platform independent, which means that you can run this app on any OS which supports Adobe Air. Since this translator uses the Google Translation engine, it provides translation for more than 50 languages.

Another interesting feature about this app is that it will automatically use the text from the clipboard and add it to the translate text box. This will save you some trouble of copy pasting text into the interface.

Overall this app provides a neat and simple interface to translate content from one language to another.

Rating: 4/5 (Excellent)
