Cursor Translator is a machine translation tool for Windows. It allows you to quickly translate words and small phrases anywhere on your computer. As the name suggests, the application uses the cursor to select the word to be translated. Cursor Translator has support for a good number of languages, including English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, German, Russian, etc.
The application doesn't have many options. The main window is very small and the only option that you can change is the language pair. There are two drop-down lists. The first is the language you want to translate from and the second, the language you want to translate to. When you want to translate something, you are supposed to press and hold the SHIFT key and move your mouse over the text to translate.
In my testing, simply moving the cursor over text on the screen or even the notepad didn't do anything. You have to actually click on the text that you want to translate, and sometimes the application doesn't detect entire words. To give you an example, I wrote a sample sentence that said: "This is a translation". I clicked on "translation" and the app only recognized "slation", which returned absolute non-sense as a translation. Selecting several words is just as complicated.
