The Translation Channel

Sherlock's Translation channel (Figure 40 ) uses online software tools to translate words and phrases between several languages, including: English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. Type in what you want to translate, click a button, and let Sherlock do the rest.

Tip

    Because translations are handled by software tools and not by human translators, they should not be relied upon for complete accuracy.

To translate a word or phrase

1.

Open the Translation channel (Figure 40 ).

2.

Enter the word or phrase you want to translate in the Original Text box.

3.

Select a translation option from the pop-up menu (Figure 41 ).

Figure 41. The pop-up menu offers quite a few translation options.

4.

Click the Translate button between the top and bottom halves of the Translation window. The translation and a fine-print disclaimer appear in the bottom half of the window (Figure 42 ).
