Have you seen the Bilingual Viewer?

Our web page translation includes a user interface we refer to as the Bilingual Viewer. It offers 4 types of bilingual views which users can choose depending on preference. The side-by-side and top/bottom views offer synchronized scrolling, highlighting, and navigation. In the two single language views, you can hover your mouse pointer over a sentence in one language and the corresponding passage in the other language is automatically displayed nearby for ease of reference. Finally, we render the translated text progressively on a web page in order to make it more quickly available for the user to read, while other page elements are still being translated in the background.

To change your view, just click on one of the four options in the “Views” section on the upper right part of the site:

Note: when you click on “Translate this page” while using Live Search, the web page will be opened in the Bilingual Viewer (in side-by-side view or the view you selected during your last viewing session).  Read more about that here

Check out the bilingual viewer today if you haven’t played around with it before!  And as always, let us know your feedback :)

# re: Have you seen the Bilingual Viewer?

probe otros traductores pero me rsultaron mas difìciles de usar, menos pràcticos, y cuando encontrè este traductor me gustò mucho porque sòlo hablo español (castellano puesto que soy Argentina) y entiendo mucho el italiano, incluso lo hablo pero por sobre todo lo entiendo mucho, pero mi gran problema es el inglès. No me gustò nunca y me resisto a entenderlo por lo cual algo lo registro pero suelo hacer y cometer errores en algunas pàginas por desconocer totalmente el significado de la pàgina en inglès.

Èsas son las razones por las que necesito un traductor y tenerlo como ìcono en lugar visible todo el tiempo para usarlo en el momento que lo necesito sin necesidad de buscarlo entre miles de pàginas.

Espero poder segur amiga de èste traductor.

Gracias.

Alejandra. (ENTRE RIOS: Argentina)
