Amazing!
I have used various foreign language dictionaries, but Babylon was always the best. The only thing that was ever lacking was that for larger translation I had to go to a website like Babelfish and get it translated. Well, with the latest version, Babylon can now translate too! Everything you need is in this program. If you work with a lot of alternate language documents or emails or whatever, Babylon is or you.

No Other Like It

I've been using Babylon for several years, since version 5. The free dictionaries are very high quality, and I've also bought the Larousse Spanish. The speed of lookup and the quality of the entries is superb. One of the best things is that it gives translations in all the languages you like at the same time. I use it for French, Spanish, & Portuguese - and have it subscribed to Wikipedia in all those languages too. I am now using it for Arabic as well.

Babylon only lacks two things that I really want... 1) the ability to better set the font sizes. When English and Arabic are displayed in the same font at the same size the complex shapes of the Arabic are tiny relative to the simple shapes of English letters. Being able to set the relative font size per language - both in the results and in the search text box would make it much easier to use for people learning or working with Arabic, Chinese, etc as second languages. 2) a Linux version! (I run a Windows XP VirtualBox just to run Babylon!!!) There is nothing available that is as good for any platform.
