Translations can be performed from within applications, such as browsers, PDF readers, word processors, etc. The program also includes a built-in spell checking utility that tracks spelling of the provided inputs and translated texts.

The text entered is invariably translated in English, by default, but one has the option to select any preferred language from the drop-down menu for translation.

Translation services can be toggled by clicking on any of the web service names from the bottom of the interface.

QTranslate has two modes of translation by mouse selection,

  • Show icon- A program icon appears near the cursor whenever a text is highlighted or selected. Clicking on the icon opens up a window that displays translation of the selected text.
  • Show translation- Instantly displays the translated text of the selected text in a pop-up window. The headset icon on the right bottom of both text-boxes is readily accessible that can make the tool speak the text.
