A Multilingual Translation Program

Lingua is a multiple language translation utility for the BeOS. It translates words to and from English into several languages, including Latin, German, Dutch, Italian, French, Spanish, Indonesian, and Portuguese. It can only do simple word and phrase translations, not entire sentences or paragraphs, but is still very useful for those times when you forget how to say "love" in Latin (it's "amare").

In addition to the program itself, I'm organizing an effort to both clean up and expand the current set of dictionary files. Without extensive, detailed, and accurate dictionary files, the client itself is useless. If you know multiple languages and are interested in donating some time and effort to a good worldwide cause, see the Lingua Project page for more information.

All comments, criticisms, suggestions, and bug reports should be sent to dream@aevum.net with some mention of "Lingua" in the subject line, so I can filter it out of my usual pile of morning spam.
