| 370838 | 2005-07-09 22:01:00 | Avant Browser, a 3 Mb freebie, has approximately 40 language translators. I have used it to translate a Spanish web page and the results are very good. Avant can be downloaded here: www.avantbrowser.com CNET Download.com Reviews are very good: www.download.com www.download.com OK, I know that it uses IE6 source files, and I also wonder if the Avant translators somehow use Google's translation facility, but have a look at the languages available: www.avantbrowser.com While on this topic, does anyone know of free stand-alone (offline, not the internet) translators? |

| 370839 | 2005-07-11 22:50:00 | A friend from Mexico emailed me the following: I have tested the Avant Browser and it works great. Finally after many years of going in and out of the [German] site searching for english or spanish [ha!] material, can I read their texts otherwise unavailable to me. The translation from English to German is very readable and understandable and most of all now I can read texts about the [techical explanations in German] so many times mentioned but never explained -in detail- in this list. Avant Browser is highly recomended as a second browser if you have a preference at this point or as the main one if you are disatisfied. I personally prefer to use Firefox, which is free, stable and powerful. No doubt it'll come with a translator some time soon. Avant is so simple, once you are inside the site you choose the language to language translation and from there on, you only advance to the next page and it will appear translated. Wonderous things of the Internet! |

| 370840 | 2005-07-13 16:23:00 | How big is the setup file? While Avant (www.avantbrowser.com) says it is 1.33MB, Download.com (www.download.com) says it is 3.09MB. Who is right and who is not? | Renmoo (66) | ||
| 370841 | 2005-07-13 16:44:00 | To get Firefox's back, you can use the Fx extension Translate (addons.mozilla.org) for this functionality, a 33 KB file ;) | sal (67) | ||
