LOL could it be, a piece if dsiware thats actually useful. Looks pretty impressive but i wonder just how many words it can recognise.

[kryss]

15'000 words apparently. Like the picture on the page suggests, it works based on Japanese words so will translate [whatever language]->Japanese->[every other language].
I'll be giving it a thorough testing when it's available.

[abigsmurf]

Machine translations from Japanese tend to be incredibly bad, especially with Proper nouns.

Did anyone get this? I'm thinking about it.

I did and am still trying to decide how to evaluate it's usefulness...
