	Sep 28 2009	MDAY108 I have been using Just Translate for a few months now and it has literally changed a major part of my life. I am a minister doing service in South America and... I do not speak Spanish. While I have managed to get by as a result of finding people here who speak some English... my capacity to really communicate took a major leap when I found Just Translate. I had used many translators on the web but I found that the end result of these translators to be terrible. However, since I started using Just Translate... I have received consistent feedback from people here in Venezuela that my emails now are 90 to 95 per cent accurate in terms of translation from English to Spanish. I am also delighted with my experience of Jalada as a company. Whenever I have needed a question answered, I have received a reply within 72 hours. It saddens me as to how many people condemn software developers for not answering their email immediately. It's easy to forget that unless you are hugely successful in this area, you often have to hold at least one other job just to get by especially since the global financial crisis hit. After a few months of use...I really have no complaints . Now... if somebody could only develop software that would instantly translate audio and video... that would really be incredible!

MRGLSMRC this software isan elaborate front end for web-based google translation services.

i might try this sometime but i dont understand why ishould give jalada the cash for googles work when i can just use the url for free.

to the minister in latin america-- why did you goto a country where you don't understand and can't be understood without an assistant? what makes you think you are being understood now in a persuasive way with this e-service?

please understand that i admire your determination to spread the word of god but translation is more than just swapping words-- it is cultural and gestural and so many nuanced things where technology is merely a crutch. spanish is not a hard language to learn when you are immersed in it.

i do use translation software myself for business purposes when i am getting a poor response from emails in english from a foreign developer. i use it when i want to show some europeanthat i am willing to go the extra mile to be understood byhim so translation services have their purposes.and jalada is as good a company for software as any. i know because i play with their fractal generator. but i do translation via two apps that are more appropriate and cheaper. i use kavaservices which operates on text in various ways besides translation. also i use the devonagent browser with instant google translation of webpages built in.

i am guessing that jalada's excellent product covers a larger gamutof languages than i need to use but on thos occassions where i want to see an arabic webpage i can just visit or some such without a forty dolar front end.

if the folks at jalada want to give me a reviewer's copy i will be glad togive their product a serious workout but presently i am disinclined to find it more useful than googles own web interface for the google service that jalada uses.

	May 9 2009	MAC FAN Again, another nonsense "upgrade", with nothing changed. The developer just wanted to get more exposure unfairly from download sites. (Version 1.2.2a)		+2

ANONYMOUS To Mac Fan: We changed a lot in our source code in the last weeks to enhance the stability of our product. That you can't see this kind of enhancement lies in the nature of these changes.

	May 8 2009	MAC FAN The developer updates the app every week, but actually added/improved nothing. All he tries to do is to put his poor apps on top of the product listings on major download sites. I downloaded this poor app. Sometimes, it simply didn't work. Sometimes, it gave apparent errors. It's a totally useless app. (Version 1.2.2)		+2

	May 8 2009	MAC FAN Doesn't work. Please do NOT download from a cheat. The author shamelessly posted 5-star ratings to his products across several major download sites. This severely misleads/hurts visitors. To the author: Please concentrate on improving your software. Do NOT use dirty tricks to cheat web surfers. Do NOT spam the Internet with fake 5-star ratings for your poor apps. This app is poor. 5-star is a shameless joke. (Version 1.2.2)		+3

	Apr 17 2009	BARTON FINK A little tool which help us to understand foreign documents such as newspaper, books and technical descriptions. I know machine translation can't be perfect but it helps you to realize the meaning and context of the text. (Version 1.1.5a)		-5

MAULRAT Odd how "Barton Fink" here has rated/reviewed ONLY Jalada programs and has given them all 5-star reviews that tend to read more like advertisements than honest to goodness reviews ... I'm smelling me some fakery goin' on in these here woods ... and thats not a good practice devs.

	Mar 13 2009	WOLFEATSWORLD Running the right Mac OSX, the installer installs OK, but cannot open the application. I'm a former Mac tech, so I've checked and performed all the normal things to insure the app would open - all to no avail. Can you help? tia ;-) (Version 1.1.2)		-1
