What is German Dictionary?

It's a shareware English-German dictionary for Mac users, containing English
words with translations into German. You can find all the entries that
contain any particular English or German word by typing or pasting the word
into the Find box and pressing the Return key. The dictionary collects all
the entries that match what you've entered, and displays the English and the
German side-by-side. You can copy words from the dictionary and paste them
into another document. You can collect English words (with their German
translations) in a separate window and study them together. The user can
easily create additional plug-in dictionaries to supplement the dictionary
provided with the program. You can listen to the English vocabulary if you
want. You can type or copy other English text into a separate window and the
program will read it aloud. (You need to have the Apple Text-to-Speech
software to use these features). You can use the dictionary in several ways
to help you to study grammar. The German translations include information
about whether the English word is a noun, an adjective, a verb ­ sometimes
it's all three! You can search for grammatical abbreviations, like "av" for
"adverb" and the dictionary will display dozens of English adverbs with
their German translations. A separate window displays the English irregular
verbs. Suggestions from users have helped us to develop the dictionary into
a useful and easy-to-use everyday tool. The relatively low memory
requirement and the optional MiniWindow mean that many users can keep it
open to refer to while they work with other programs. The program allows you
to choose either English or German for the user interface language (buttons,
menus and dialog box). Choose "User Interface LanguageŠ" from the File menu.

System Requirements:
Macintosh, PowerBook, Power Macintosh, iBook or iMac.
