Translation programs, advice please

[Adrian S]

Hello to all,

 

My poor wife is swamped with translating reference books at the moment. I have come across a progran called Atlas on the internet that can translate Japanese to English and has a dictionary builder and import feature. I was thinking the job would be easier if all the nihonto related words were imported into such a program. This progran is expensive , $1200

 

My question, is anyone out there using a progran that converts Japanese to English that has an import feature that is a more reasonable price? Any feedback to how good these programs work including Atlas?

 

Is anybody scanning into a text reader, translating with a progran that has a nihonto vocabulary, and bingo instant access to the Japanese books.

 

Any advice or experience in these matters would be helpful.

 

Happy holidays,

You can try Atlas for free for 30 days to evaluate how good it is... see Fujitsu website.

 

Not sure how much work you can get through in 30 days!!!

 

Cheers

Yes, but the problem is creating the nihonto dictionary import which will take time. not sure if the trila version would let me save all that work.
