Babylon
As a leader in providing quick, simple and relatively accurate one-click translations, Babylon has expanded its services to automatically translate full web pages and documents, integrate itself with Microsoft Office speller and has improved its dictionaries and encyclopedias. Babylon has additional products such as a free downloadable glossary builder for private use, a version of its software on Windows Mobile powered mobile phones, and software that enables you to switch between different languages on a regular keyboard that may be useful to some. It's "translation @ a click" philosophy caters more to beginners or for personal use, and not for professionals or businesses with serious translation needs.
