Easy dictionary and translator for more than 60 languages
On the whole, Lingoes is an interesting application which combines a comprehensive dictionary with a translator service (while looking and feeling mysteriously similar to its competitor, Babylon). There are also some useful tools like the periodic table, an abbreviation chart and an irregular verbs one, plus an international time zone converter, a dialing codes directory, a weights & measures converter and to end a currency converter.
Theoretically the most useful tool is that by pressing CTRL+ right click on whatever word you have on your screen, a pop-up window should appear with the definition of that word, a search tool for a deeper definition and also an audio file with the correct pronunciation. The disappointing aspect of this feature is that it doesn't work with a lot of words (unfortunately, I have to say, the majority), even if they appear in the list of definitions that Lingoes has in its database. I think this is a major bug as it invalidates massively the application's main utility which would be to have an always-available dictionary without having to change window.
The program leans on Google for the translation function which I find to be weak as many words are not translated correctly or not even found.
Because of strange performance issues, Lingoes is not worth using if you're just looking for an on-the-fly dictionary or translator. Some of its other features are really useful, though.

Best that babylon.
I think it's better than babylon in many respects. For example babylon failed many times in the translation by clicking on many new applications and new versions, such as Google Chrome, Acrobat Reader, Internet Explorer 9 etc.but Lingoes makes perfect. You think it's a wonderful tool to learn other languages because you can hear the native pronunciation of the language. The translation of text is fast y easy, because unlike babylon you have total control over the text to translate, only select that part of paragraph y ready. And everything is free! More
