Why
buy Delta Translator?
First
of all because Delta Translator users themselves have told us it is the
best Brazilian translation software product on the market! Secondly, Delta
Translator is used by more Brazilians than all other translation programs
in the world combined! This is important to consider because Brazilians
need to translate to/from Portuguese far more than most English speaking
people. The cost to benefit ratio of Delta Translator far surpasses any
other translation software programs on the market. Delta Translator offers
far more features and translation accuracy
for the money than any other program available anywhere.
Some
other translation software programs do not use true machine translation
technology. They hide behind the guise of being "interactive" which really
means you do all the work. They only produce literal, word-by-word translations
(transliterations). They do not parse the text, or break down its grammatical
structure so as to be able to, for example, correctly place adjectives.
Others
translation software programs that do use machine translation technology
translate to "Portuguese" without defining whether the "Portuguese" being
used is Brazilian or European. That's dangerous because there's a BIG difference
between the two—as much as 25% or more! Delta Translator is 100% Brazilian.
Many
other Portuguese translation software programs offer a confusing variety
of home, personal, professional, enterprise and other versions of their
software, each at a correspondingly different price. Any version except
the very top, most expensive package (sometimes priced at hundreds and
hundreds of dollars) is just a "cut down" version where the size of the
language translation database has been reduced so as to enable them to
reduce the price. This also "cuts down" the corresponding accuracy of any
translation produced with it. A $69 or $79 version of any translation software
program on the market is not going to perform like its $300 to $500+ big
brother.
How
does it work?
The Delta Translator®
3.0 software translation system contains three separate programs that can
be loaded
or opened independently and used to meet a specific translation
situation:
_Delta
Translator—the main program, translates already
existing documents, text copied and pasted from any other Windows program
or any text typed directly into to the
Translation
Area (upper window). All you need to do is click a single button
and, within seconds, the translated text appears in the Translated
Text Area (lower window) while maintaining the formatting of the
original document.
Translated words in the Translated
Text Area (lower window) that have alternative translations available
are displayed in blue and underlined.
Right
clicking on these words with your mouse will allow
you to select an alternate translation. Translated words displayed
in red and underlined indicate a word
for which no translation is available, however, you may quickly and easily
add
the word to the database with any number of translations you desire
by right clicking on it. You can also add
more translations to an already existing word or phrase in Delta
Translator's translation database. No matter what you need to do, using
Delta Translator is straightforward, fast and easy.
Delta Translator 3.0 will
install either an English or Brazilian Portuguese interface—command buttons,
interactive messages, menus, tool bar, help file, etc.—depending upon the
language version used by your Windows®
operating system.
_Delta
Web Translator—translates web pages as you
browse the Internet and maintains all original formatting. When loaded,
a easy to use interface
window is displayed on your screen. Delta Web Translator only translates
text, not graphics or pictures. Many web pages contain titles, subtitles,
bullet points, buttons, navigation tabs, etc., that may contain or look
like text but which are, in reality, graphics (pictures). No translation
system in the world translates such graphics. Using
Delta Web Translator is quick and easy.
_Delta
Windows Translator—translates text directly
inside all your Windows applications and programs including word processing,
spreadsheet and e-mail programs. To use it, just highlight the text you
want to translate and press hot key combination to translate. Within seconds,
the original text is replaced with the translation. Delta
Windows Translator is very easy to use.

How
fast is it?
While Delta Translator's
speed
is directly dependent on the speed and memory resources of your computer,
translation speed is normally measured in seconds not minutes. Delta Translator
can translate a paragraph in a few seconds, a one page letter in less than
thirty seconds, a typical web page in less than a minute or a multi-page
document in a few minutes.
In tests using an older Pentium®
III machine running at 500 MHZ with 64 MB RAM memory with Windows®
'95, Delta Translator translated at an average rate of over 100,000 words
per hour. Newer, more powerful machines are even faster! There is no faster
machine translation system in the world. It doesn't matter what you are
translating, Delta Translator will save you valuable time.
TOP
How
flexible is it?
Delta Translator's huge
language database contains literally thousands upon thousands of words,
phrases and translations including specialized
language for many specific fields of endeavor including aeronautics,
biology, chemistry, commerce, computers, culinary, economics, electronics,
history, journalism, law, mathematics, mechanics, medicine, military, music,
nautical, optics, photography, physics, politics, soccer / football, sports
and zoology.
Delta Translator is fully
customizable so you can increase the size of the database by adding any
number of new words, phrases and/or translations as well as create your
own, separate specialized translation dictionary databases.
Words and phrases in the
translated
text that have alternate
translations are clearly marked in blue.
You can quickly and easily view alternate
translations, by right clicking on the word, select an available
alternative or add your own new translation. Translations for words and
phrases whose translation (because of language ambiguities) may be doubtful,
are clearly
indicated in red and
can quickly and easily be added
to the database. The Delta Translator machine translation system
offers you numerous advantages and features including:
convenience —

or other encumbrance
flexibility —
translates documents,
spreadsheets, e-mail, web pages as you browse the Internet or any
