Hello All,

I am looking for a dictionary software which can run under Windows 7. Like you work in Word, Excel oder PDF and mark a word. Then with double click oder right click or copy to clipboard the dictionary opens and suggests you different translations.

Thanks for the help.

what about Wordfinder? Dec 18, 2012

http://www.wordfinder.com/
They have Collins German-English-German dictionary running on their program. You highlight the word by double-clicking it in your document and in my keyboard configuration I press Alt+z and the window opens with suggestions. If I like the first one (the most common one), I hit ENTER and it copies into my translation.

(Optionally:) Later on just hit another hotkey --> Multifultor minimizes all the dictionary windows, so that your document window (e. g. Word) becomes visible again.

Additionally there are some alternative lookup possibilities & goodies, and all things are fully configurable.
