Language translation widget

Hello,
I'm looking for a language translation widget. I searched a lot many mac sites / forums and was not sucessfull finding a (free) translation widget (like Babel for windows)
I'm looking at English / French & German.
Any hints?
regards,

No, mine is definitely a language translator. I use it all the time. The unit converter is called "Unit Converter". I don't know why your system is different.
You can see the widget here (bottom-left; the screenshot is leopard but it exists in tiger as well): http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304760
There's a description of how it works here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh2189.html

  • Language translator widget malfunction

    For some reason, my translator widget no longer works properly. I used to be able to translate from Korean to English and visa versa (which are the only two languages that I really NEED the translator for). But now, I can only choose English for my "translate from" list and the translate to list says only undefined. I am connected to the internet when I am doing this and my friends who have macs can use theirs fine. I'm no technical-fiddler and didn't mess around with anything. Is there a way I can just delete it and reinstall it again?
    Its the default translator that came with Tiger.

    Just a slight correction to this thread ...
    I had exactly the same problem, and I followed the advice given, but because I hate to reboot if it is not absolutely necessary, I simply relaunched Dashboard without rebooting the Mac.
    The translator widget sat blank for a few seconds, then came back to life as good as new.
    So then I trashed the plist on the desktop, all without rebooting! (This will be of value to rebootophobes, of which I suspect I am but one among thousands).

  • Language Translation - Polish

    Hello,
    I'm new to macs and find it really nice that there are language translation widgets, and also an option in sherlock. I haven't been able to find one that translates english to polish and polish to english. I've done some looking, and will continue to do so, but does anyone know where to find a solution to this - free if possible (of course). Thank You.
    Matt

    Nobody has any ideas?

    Hi someone, I went to muse theme and browse widgets to find the toolbox 024 of google language translator, i saw the video explaining how to manage the widgets but now, where can i found it to include it in my website because the french version of muse don't have several free widgets for people like me who pay every month the application.Thanks

    I'm not aware of a free translator widget.
    I found these...
    Website Translator 
    Translator Widget  $6.99 for the widget
    Adobe Muse TB024 Widget | MuseThemes.com  $69/year Includes everything | I signed up for this and it's been well worth it, they have new themes & widgets every month.

  • Translation widget- 2nd language undefined?

    Hi! I have an iBook G4 with Mac OS 10.4.4, and when i open the translation widget, it gives me a selection for the first language, but the second one says "undefined". If click on it, it says English, but if i click on it, it goes back to undefined. It also has a large SYSTRAN sign above it. Please help!!!!!!!

  • Translation Widget No Longer Working

    It feels like my computer is falling apart at the seems lately. Here is my newest annoying problem.
    My translation widget (that comes standard on mac) no longer shows the accent marks, or any other foreign language (for example Japanese, Chinese, etc.) for some reason.
    I have tried resetting the SMU and the PRAM. I have also tried closing the widget, deleting the plist for that files in the User/preferences folder and then opening the widget again on the dashboard, but it still doesn't work.
    What can I do to fix this problem? Oh, if anyone has suggestions can you please explain them step by step. I am a still a bit computer illiterate when it comes to Macs.
    Thanks!!!

    Try installing a fresh Translation Widget...
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/travel/languagetranslator.html
    If that sorts out the problem then while your widgets are active click the '+' sign and then the 'X' next to the old one to close it..

  • Translation Widget Inoperative

    For some reason, my stock translation widget just doesnt work anymore. The translation portion of it says "undefined" and has some glitchy looking font written behind the drop-down menu. And the "translate from" either says Chinese (Simplified) or English, which are the two I have been using most frequently. Actually, now that I think about it, ever since I changed my language preferences to Chinese after logging in one time (changing it back to English eventually), I have experienced this problem; however, that should not have messed up my computer.
    I have tried taking a new widget from my roommate's Macbook to overwrite my broken one, but it didn't change a thing.
    Sláinte,
    Josh
    P.S. What in the world is a kernal_task in my Activity Viewer? It says it's taking up 453MB of RAM! That's absurd.

    I actually don't even have the ability to translate anything, so I can't say that is my problem... it simply either says English in both the "translate from" and "to" fields or Chinese (Simplified Han) when I press the swap button, so I don't get a chance to translate from either of the languages. Pretty obnoxious. There has to be a fix short of restoring my software from my disc. that would mess my computer up.

  • Translation Widget Problem

    Hello everyone. I am a pretty new apple user. Got to say im loving every minute of it. Well, two days ago my computer auto updated and since then for some reason my translation widget (came with comp) does not work. I can not type anything in it and it I cannot choose languages to use. Is there any way to reinstall it?

    I was having the same problem with the translator widget and did what you said: put my preferences folder on the desktop and restarted it.
    This led me to believe the problem was in the original preferences folder.
    It was! I found, at the bottom of the folder, the widgets. I just trashed them, and
    dragged the folder from my desktop back to my library replacing the new one that had formed. Restart and you should be good to go.

  • Translation Widget won't work, any ideas ?

    My translation widget will not open the language windows and will not transpose language windows.

    What's the name of the widget? Has it been working and just stopped, or did you just install it?
    I use this translation web site.

  • Translation Widget in Dashboard Problem

    Just bought a new Macbook.
    I click "f12" to open dashboard.
    Go the Translation Widget.
    Type a word in Japanese for an English translation and vice versa and then try other languages. All I'm getting is a
    "data unavailable" message.
    Do I have to install something to use this widget?

    If you're talking about the systran one... (blue). ... mine quit working too.
    ... so I thought... actually it just takes a really long time to connect and process ... in the mean time it doesn't tell you it's doing it.
    Type in what you want to translate... hit go... close the dashboard... wait a minute... then reopen the dashboard and voila .. not the most efficient way but it works.

  • Translate widget in Dashboard doesn't work

    I can choose the Translation widget in my Dashboard, however, I can't choose the languages (from/to) with the arrows.... :-(

    For those of you who have the problem, I discovered that you need atleast one Web Widget in your Widgets folder.
    I copy one over from our MBP, and the functionality returned.

  • Where is the language translator in Mac OS X 10.6?

    When I was poking around with different areas of my new IMac, I came upon a language translator and I don't recall where I located it. Now I can't find it at all. Can anyone help me relocate it? I need help with this one asap. Thanks.... I know it's probably simple, but new to the IMac.... was a PC and now I am a Mac

    Oh oh, I know!
    It's in the widgets. Bring up the Dashboard (F4) and then click the + sign in the bottom left corner to bring up all the widgets you can use. It's in there.
