I need a bit of help from the windows users....

I'm a lazy developer with too much time during the night, that started working in an enterprise where around 40% of the peoples are speaking German.

I understand it enough to understand (or ask again) peoples talking to me in German, but sometimes reading documentation is just painful.

Hopefully to me, there is that thing that's called "google" that provide free translations.
Now, being
* a geek
* a lazy geek
* a developer
and having google at hand, I could not stay much longer using just my browser to translate bit and pieces of text.

So I started my IDE, and wrote this in 2 days:


I'm fairly happy of the result, and thought that other peoples might found something like this useful.
For the curious peoples, it's based on Python and using the wxWidget library (wxPython).
It's 100% portable (I run it on my linux box here, and it should run on mac, windows and even nokia sybian's when the libraries are installed)

I've tried to compile an windows executable, but found several incompatibilities. Sometime, some events (clicks) are not seen by the application.
So, I'm asking you, windows users out here, if you can just download this application and tell me if it works on your computer.
It's a single directory zipped. No installer, no registry, everything is done in the directory directly.

The download zip is there: http://www.webalis.com/translator.zip
Thank you already.

What I meant to say was you could try googling Free Translation, and you can get better results...I am still checking

Well, this little thing is my first try at an desktop application.
I wanted to try something a bit more useful than a calculator....

Beside, honestly, I hate being forced to fire up a browser just to copy/past/click/copy/past text.
A simple application is quicker and lighter, at least for me.

And if your comment had nothing to do with the fact that this application exists, then just say that my English is far from perfect, and that this application is as limited as the service it's based on.
