What's New
Version 4.5.1:
This release delivers an extended embedded vocabulary and fixes a service menu translation issue.
jalada Language Alchemist is a solid, well built app at a fair price, overall good value for money. It is ready to hand, not difficult to configure for my purposes (light to medium use). I use several other (free) online resources in addition to jLA, to augment and refine my work, no single solution is fully adequate and you can pay a lot for not very much better results than jLA - as often as not they can be worse, or much worse even an obstacle to good efficient translation. All in all for a software translation tool, this is about as good as it gets. (p.s. I'm not paid anything for my reviews, and I'm not in any way connected with the developers, now or in the past.)
You mentioned that you use Language Alchemist in conjunction with various online resources ... Would you mind listing them? I'm just getting started in this field.
Language Alchemist is one of the best translation software on the Mac. It is ideal for those looking to further develop their language skill and also need translation services for their daiily work.
Thanks to the quick response by the developer (see his reply to my previous comment), my download and installation is finally working perfectly. The problem, which he fixed, was an incompatibility with my download manager (i.e., Speed Download v5.0.7).
Still have problems trying to download this. i get an Alert that says:
"An Error occurred attempting to expand ...../jalada Language Alchemist X.dmg.zip The archive may be damaged (Error 17537)"
But the problem with our archive was based on your download-manager such as "Speed Download Lite", "iGetter" etc. and not on the archive itself. To correct your problem, we changed our web server configuration and now your download manager should work correctly.
Without Asian languages, this application is not so useful to me personally. Translation Service is, for now, a good option for those who need Asian language translation.
From developer's site:The demo-license expires only after 28 days.
But for me the demo expires after quit tha application.Just instaled 5' before.When i opened 2' later open a window with:Sorry, your licence is expired.
Please visit our online store "http://www.jalada.com/en/jalada/order.html"
and purchase a licence.

Integrated in any Mac application that is compatible with the Apple specification for contextual menu extensions, you get the power to investigate unknown words directly with the context-menu without large detours. As the result you can still better and still faster understand various sources of information, like manuals, help and Web pages.

This developer spam major download sites with fake 5-star ratings.
I hate to deal with dishonest guys.
His products are poor, and never justify a 5-star.

I get the same error from files I downloaded the jalada site as well as from the MacUpdate site.
I tried it four times, and get the same thing. I am using a MacBook Pro with MacOS 10.5.5
