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.
