FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q1: What do you do if you want to have a program available simultaneously in several languages?
A1: The user simply chooses a language by clicking on the program icon ("shortcut") for the language in which he wants to do the program. Each pair of languages (a dictionary file for a certain programme) uses between 0.5-1 MB on the hard disk.

Q2: Is it possible to translate input data? 
A2: Software Translator 7.0 can also translate input data from the program user. This means that you can type in the commands in your own language and have these translated into the language which the program "speaks". 

Q3: What do you do if there is insufficient space for the translated text?
A3: In Software Translator 7.0, you can simply change the size of buttons, dialogue boxes, etc. in order to create space for a long word or a more substantive amount of text. The change in size occurs simultaneously just like the translation.
