Lingoes is a free tool which aggregates several free text translators and hundreds of free dictionaries, delivering a wealth of language resources in one application. Once installed you can use Lingoes to translate texts, lookup words using hundreds of monolingual and bilingual dictionaries, play texts out loud using text-to-speech, access helpful information such as currency conversion rates and more. Lingoes works on Windows-based computers. You can download the tool from http://www.lingoes.net.
Lingoes is an intriguing tool which many users may find useful, but some users may find it to be cumbersome since it is fairly CPU intensive and also takes control of some Windows keyboard shortcuts. There also is nothing incredibly unique about Lingoes and any savvy PC user will be able to use Google and Yahoo to get access to the same features without having to install another application on their machine. It is valuable in that it provides links to hundreds of free language resources which you may not have heard about.
