- Registration and nag screens are not modal now

- Tuned Babylon transcription support in the on-the-fly translation window, and in the Widget
- Improved the on-the-fly translation module (the low level text capture engine)

(the bug also reported to Apple, see refs: rdar://7416356 and rdar://7416355)
- Application exception support added for on-the-fly translation (see the 4th tab of the Preferences), please, note however, that, for the sake of usability, this filter isn't used in the Look up once mode, because it is a user's direct decision to translate something

- Optimized internal integrity checks
- Snow Leopard changes: restored association of saved history files with TI
- Improved: learning history fast insert with short selected translation
- History background auto recovery feature implemented (by default, it backs up the history list once per minute (60 seconds), however you can set any interval between 20 seconds and 20 minutes (in seconds, e.g. for 2 minutes, the value would be 120):
defaults write ru.DeepIT.TranslateIt TIHistoryAutoRecoveryTime -int 120
to turn auto recovery off:
defaults write ru.DeepIT.TranslateIt TIHistoryAutoRecoveryTime -int 0
to revert to the default behavior:
defaults delete ru.DeepIT.TranslateIt TIHistoryAutoRecoveryTime

MITCH BICQUET Beware. !! STRONG PRIVACY BREACH !! But its own admission (see privacy policy on web site), and from user's review on forums, use of an unauthorized serial number will make the application transfer your private data (data from your address book and contacts application, identity, etc...) to their servers for "further investigation". As a software developer myself, I understand the concerns for piracy but such behavior from another developer can only provoke distrust and escalate the fight against piracy. Please avoid at all cost those practices. (Version 9.7.0B9704) | |

UNCLEMIF Ok. We understood our mistake. So, please don't worry about your privacy anymore. From today, our server side scripts has disabled catching for disputable private information while pirated license is detected. Also Privacy Policy document is modified from 12 November 2009. To fully close this question, next release of TranslateIt! will be distributed without "MainAddressBookEntry/OnlyOnPiratedLicenseFound" module too. However, callhome feature will be still there as in 90% of software products exist on market. The main goal to verify & block pirated licenses online. (Version 11.0 build 11098) | |

GLOBETROTTERDK I have been a user of this software for over a year. I purchased a lifetime license and have been extremely satisfied with both the software and the developer support. If you need multilingual dictionary look-up, spell checking, etc. this is the best app on any platform. (Version 9.1B9101) | |

MIKEY1715 I bought this a while back and use it for help in learning Spanish. The floating question mark is beyond annoying. The online documentation is poor in my opinion and the pronunciation 50-50. The test translation is not always right. Sometimes it mixes up the words. I paid $35. I do get some use out of it but I wouldn't buy it again. It is not a bad product - it is just not as good as it should be. Be sure to try it first. (Version 11.0 build 11098) | |

TANKKNIGHT I like how you can drift across a word and a balloon shows the translation, unfortunately it became irritating quickly and while playing with its cube approach to preferences (which is cute, but a pain) the balloons kept getting in the way. I really wanted a text translator, so I copy/pasted a paragraph from an email a Russian friend sent me ... The translation attempt was so-so and looked identical to what google will produce. Bottom line is that Google give me same text translation for free. Oh, I have Little Snitch (great product) running and it tells me this product wants to chat out way too much. I removed TranslateIt and was amazed when Hazel (another great product) told me how much this app had installed on my Mac. (Version 11.0 build 11098) | |
