What is SYSTRAN Mobile?

With SYSTRAN Mobile, SYSTRAN – the world’s leading provider of Language

Translation Software – puts the power of language translation in your hands…or, more

specifically, in your handheld Pocket PC.

Prerequisites

SYSTRAN Mobile can be used with any Pocket PC device that is running Windows®

Mobile 2003 or Windows® Mobile 5. The application itself requires 10MB space in

main memory, with language pairs requiring 20MB each in either main memory or

storage.

Two Tools

SYSTRAN Mobile is comprised of two distinct tools: Translator and Dictionary

Lookup. Each of these tools can be used to perform translation tasks, however they

differ greatly in their intended use.

Translator

The Translator can be used to translate words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs and

so forth. Content for translation is typed or copied into the Source field, and following

the translation action the results display in the Target field.

SYSTRAN Mobile User Guide 3

The Translator can also be used for “on-the-Fly” translation capability that extends

across and into your Pocket PC applications. Specifically, using the SYSTRAN Button

(which is available at the top of the Pocket PC screen whenever the application is

running) you can immediately translate content residing in another application without

needing to paste it into either the Translator or Dictionary Lookup SYSTRAN Mobile

tools.

Dictionary Lookup

Dictionary Lookup is limited to individual words, be they whole, inflected, or even

approximately written. Its use, though, extends beyond translation. Using Dictionary

Lookup users can discover an input word’s various definitions and its possible uses in

the selected target language, in addition to its translation.

Two Translation Methods

Two methods of translation are available with SYSTRAN Mobile: translations

performed within the confines of the application tools, and those performed “On-the-

Fly” using the SYSTRAN Button feature. The results garnered from each method are

identical, however differ substantially in their use and execution.

Application-based Translation

Application-based translations are those that are performed directly within the

SYSTRAN Mobile application tools: Translator and Dictionary Lookup. This method

of translation requires the direct input of the content to be translated into the

appropriate tool.

“On-the-Fly” Translation

The “On-the-Fly” translation method is a means for directly translating content that is

residing in other applications. “On-the-Fly” translations are performed using the

SYSTRAN Button which displays at the top of the Pocket PC screen whenever the

application is running. Using the SYSTRAN Button you can select source text from

virtually any Windows Mobile application and

immediately translate it without needing

to paste it into the Source field of the Translator or Dictionary Lookup.
