Sometime back I posted a query about foreign language
dictionaries and converters. I got two useful replies:

From: "Richard A. McGee BRL/SECAD/WSTB 4180" <dickmc@brl.mil>

As for as machine translation goes my daughter has used the Language 
Assistant Series from:
	MicroTac Software
	4655 Cass Street, Suite 304
	San Diego, CA 92109
	(619) 272-5700

She used the Spanish Assistant in high school and the French Assistant in
currently in college. They do word for word translation using a resident
editor, can look up words, find the correct conjugation and help on
tricky points of grammar.

The cost is around $50 each and they are worth the money. Most PD translators
have very limited dictionaries.

In a recent number of Byte (Sept. I think) I saw an ad from some mail
order company, who advertised (among other things) a CD-rom which
contained software and data for just this task. I think the name of
the CD was 'Electronic Dictionary' - you could probably get more info
from a CD ROM specialist shop. 

As the ad was in Byte, I assume it was intended for IBM PCs.

Hope this helps to those ( and others) who requested me to
summarize the responses.

Thanks
