Google Translate
Loqu8 iCE instantly provides definitions for each Chinese word you see. But what if you need a quick translation for a sentence or phrase? Sure, you could copy+paste to an online translator--but iCE's HighlightScan with MLX (Multilanguage Extensions) is more efficient. Hover over Chinese text and see the details and nuances of each Chinese word or phrase.
For a limited time, Microsoft Bing Translator is available at no charge. For those who appreciate the quality and thoroughness of Google Translate may now be selected. If both Bing and Google are selected, hover over each translation to show the name of the source. In the example above, the first translation ("Spread of the Asian real estate market prices surge") is from Bing. The second translation ("The Spread of the Asian real estate market price surges") is from Google.
Prices
Unlike Google's ad-supported websites, there is a service charge for accessing Google Translation service through their programming interfaces.
Google Translate service
- Intro (100 credits): Free
- 6 months (up to 100,000 credits): $20 USD
- 12 months (up to 1,000,000 credits): $30 USD
Credits
One credit is charged for every character (byte) that is sent to their service. This includes space, punctuation and symbols. For example, 1,000,000 credits corresponds to one million characters, spaces, punctuation and symbols.
Each time a request is processed, the HighlightScan window will show an activity. In the example at the top of the page, 12/77 credits means 10 credits were used and 77 remain. Open the Settings dialog and see the actual number of credits and the expiration date.
