Seems to me I remember a more recent one, but it's not coming to me at the moment. Someone will remember, I am sure.:-) Good luck, kat |

But it is still very useful. For serious translation, however, one must have a book of verb tenses to go along with it, for double-checking. And for diacritical marks, best type it in Word then cut and paste the text into the window. Without diacriticals it doesn't work properly--it doesn't make assumptions about their presence if you can't type them in. SRS |
