Looking for Spanish translator or Dictionary on CD

Can't Post | Private Reply

Can anyone recommend a good Spanish-to-English translation or dictionary program on CD. I would like one that is geared to colloquial Spanish (Mexican- Spanish).

Thanks

Pat

I use WordAce English-Spanish translator. It's not bad. It was developed and sold by Transparent Language. It also conjugates Spanish verbs. If you run it with the CD in the drive, you also get spoken versions of each Spanish word.(Almost all the words in its dictionary). Unfortunately, you can't add to the dictionary.
A Spanish spell-checker would be a welcome addition to which I'd be willing to upgrade.
There are also some silly word games.
It has both Mac and PC versions on the install CD.

I just got the Oxford Spanish Dictionary on CD. When on-line you can put your mouse on a word and get and instant translation from a little pop-up window, no typing. Lots of detail in the definitions.
