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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
