Worth 1/2 of the listed price.

I wonder where they all went? Nanking, maybe?

If the full version of WTX has those kinds of perversities, then it is worthless, but perhaps it just has a very bad demo.

I'd like to tell you my experience with Word Translator.
After placing the order, I eventually received the WT CD in the mail - much later I received the exact same disc again. As I recall at least one of them was shipped from Hong Kong (not Iceland, as one would expect). My credit card wasn't charged at the time. However, the software required a LONG registration code, and a complicated registration procedure - apparently, there was a time limit on it, or something. Too bad the guy takes weeks or even months to answer his mail.
I never got the darn thing to register itself. Apparently, once I received the registration code, based on a different program code I had to send him first, the time span permitted was long since over. Or possibly it had something to do with a system or program update I did in the interim. In any case, I kept asking for a code that actually worked, and receiving answers rarely, putting it mildly. Needless to say, I wasn't impressed. By now, yes, I had been charged, and a higher amount than was the specified price.
It's been a long, long time since I heard from this fellow at all. I have given up all hopes of getting my money back, or software that actually works. By the way, in my limited testing of Word Translator I came upon lots of plain errors in the Swedish/English dictionary, so maybe it wouldn't have been much use to me even if I had gotten it unlocked.
Anyhow, noticing the frequent mention of this program in the MacUpdate newsletter, I wanted to relate my experience. In my letters to Mr Gislason and associates (if such associates actually exist), I have been courteous, although naturally increasingly insistent. He has no reason to ignore me that I can imagine (at least not if he were a responsible software developer), nor has he implied as much. He just doesn't answer, and as I said, even when I did hear from him it was a rare event indeed.
Maybe others have had better experiences with Word Translator, and maybe the registration process is easier now - I do hope so. But as far as I'm concerned, the author is singularly undeserving of having his software listed at a fine and popular site such as MacUpdate.
