Ultralingua Announces Collins Brand Multilingual Dictionaries for Apple
Macintosh
Jan. 15, 2008, Minneapolis, MN, Ultralingua announced today the release of
Collins branded dictionaries. Building on the success of its suite of
dictionaries (definitions and translations) for the Mac OS X operating system,
Ultralingua has now collaborated with Collins Dictionaries (UK) to bring
world-class definition translation tools to its users. The new line, sold on the
Ultralingua site, harnesses Ultralingua’s popular interface and search features,
making the complex look-up of words and phrases both simple and fast. Collins
Dictionaries, a subsidiary of HarperCollins, has long been recognized as the
gold standard for dictionary content, offering highly enriched definitions and
translations, complete with contextual indicators and thousands of expressions.
These new tools address the needs of the most demanding users in academics,
translation, business and other fields dependent on the highest quality. By
harnessing the power of Collins Dictionaries, Ultralingua software takes the
effort out of dictionary consultation. Best of all, Ultralingua technology will
automatically recognize inflected words (conjugated verbs, irregular plurals),
and will even allow users to conjugate verbs in all their tenses. Each
dictionary also includes language-learning tools, such as an integrated flash
card system for vocabulary acquisition, along with extensive grammar references
for most languages. A special “hotkey” allows users to click on a word in nearly
any document to display a translation or definition by the cursor. An automated
search for examples and a direct connection to Ultralingua’s language forums
make the new Collins Dictionaries indispensable tools for students and
professionals. Collins dictionaries by Ultralingua are downloadable in trial
versions from the Ultralingua website at
http://www.ultralingua.com/en/mac-dictionary.htm. Available titles include:
English Definitions, French-English Dictionary, German-English Dictionary,
Spanish-English Dictionary, Italian-English Dictionary, and Portuguese-English
Dictionary. Each title costs $44.95 (though substantial discounts apply to
purchases of three or more titles).
