For the first time, understand and learn Chinese as fast as you move your mouse. Loqu8 iNterpret Version 3 is an instant Chinese-English translation tool for both casual users scanning Chinese websites and serious students learning Mandarin Chinese.

Instant English Translations: Loqu8 iNterpret refines interactive Chinese-English translation. Instead of requiring cumbersome keystrokes and mouse clicks, iNterpret simply translates text as you glide your mouse. A pop-up window translates Chinese (Simplified or Traditional) characters at your mouse pointer. Lookup words using Chinese, Pinyin or English in the 60,000 word dictionary.

Power of Pronunciation: Learn how to speak Mandarin by listening to the words. From the same pop-up window, choose Pronounce and iNterpret intonates the word or phrase in Standard Mandarin. iNterpret embeds a text-to-speech engine to precisely pronounce the four tones of Mandarin. An estimated 836 million people speak Mandarin Chinese around the world.

Learning Chinese in a Modern Context: Traditional language classes frequently focus on vocabulary lists. Students can quickly become bored trying to memorize words without a proper context. iNterpret helps students learn and discover Chinese through immersion in popular websites. As students come across unfamiliar words, the pop-up window provides a quick description. For example Harbin is the capital of Heilongjiang province in northeast China. From the pop-up translation window, students can search the web with BBC News or Google Images. As students interact with web-based content, their interest deepens and Chinese characters suddenly come to life--like never before.

Availability: iNterpret is optimized to run on PCs with Microsoft Windows Vista and Internet Explorer. Windows XP SP2 and Windows Server 2008/2003 are also supported. A free 15-day trial, with full performance and functions, is available. Academic scholarships for students and discounts for schools are available.
