On the whole, Lingoes is an interesting application which combines a
comprehensive dictionary with a translator service (while looking and feeling
mysteriously similar to its competitor, Babylon). There are also some useful
tools like the periodic table, an abbreviation chart and an irregular verbs
one, plus an international time zone converter, a dialing codes directory, a
weights & measures converter and to end a currency converter. Theoretically
the most useful tool is that by pressing CTRL+ right click on whatever word
you have on your screen, a pop-up window should appear with the definition of
that word, a search tool for a deeper definition and also an audio file with
the correct pronunciation. The disappointing aspect of this feature is that
it doesn't work with a lot of words (unfortunately, I have to say, the
majority), even if they appear in the list of definitions that Lingoes has in
its database. I think this is a major bug as it invalidates massively the
application's main utility which would be to have an always-available
dictionary without having to change window. The program leans on Google for
the translation function which I find to be weak as many words are not
translated correctly or not even found. *Because of strange performance
issues, Lingoes is not worth using if you're just looking for an on-the-fly
dictionary or translator. Some of its other features are really useful,
though.*Download *Lingoes 2.7.6.1* in Softonic
