goTranslateIt is a small software application designed specifically for helping you translate text by employing Google API engine. You can install it on Windows XP, Vista, and 7.
In order to run the utility correctly and avoid bumping into all sorts of errors, you need to deploy Microsoft .NET Framework on the target computer.

Text translation capabilities

goTranslateIt gives you the possibility to manually type in the text that you want to translate directly into the main window or paste the information from the clipboard. In addition, you may edit the text by deleting data and inserting special symbols from a built-in map (which comes with support for different languages).
Other important configuration settings worth being mentioned enable you to perform basic clipboard tasks (cut, copy, paste), undo or redo your actions, import information from plain text, XML, or RTF file format, and add the content of an entire folder.
What’s more, you are allowed to copy the translated text to the clipboard so you can easily paste it into other third-party programs or export it to plain text or RTF file format, set the translation languages via drop-down lists, as well as listen to how the translated text is pronounced correctly using Microsoft .NET Speech Synthesis.
Tests have pointed out that goTranslateIt carries out a task quickly and without errors. It does not eat up a lot of CPU and memory resources so the overall performance of the computer is not affected.
