Word Magic Software Tips
Useful tips for using our translation software and dictionaries
BACKGROUND
In response to numerous requests from our valued Customers, we are pleased to offer you a service which most of you will find to be both interesting and informative: periodical information on how to get the most advantage out of Word Magic product features, linguistic curiosities and similar topics.
The Tips section of our weekly bulletin will not be larger than one page, but packed with useful how-to information. Not more than one topic is going to be tackled at a time because the bulletin would become heavy reading, and we want to keep it light.
Your feedback with suggestions as well as your questions and experiences will be most welcome. We will also publish a digest of interesting articles related with Machine Translation or linguistics sent to us by our readers.
Important note: this bulletin was discontinued back on October, 2010. The tips will still be useful for learning about the use of our translation software and dictionaries.
