[Q] Good translator app for WP7.5

[96th]

Hi. Today, my mum bought a Nokia Lumia 710. However, no one else in the family has ever used a Windows Phone, so I've been tasked with setting the phone up for her. It's it imperative that she has access to a two way Polish/English dictionary. On her old dumbphone Nokia she could:

• type words with live suggestions;
• view alternative meanings;
• switch between the two languages with one click;
• use her dictionary without an internet connection.

So, I'm looking for an app which can do that. It doesn't have to be free, and it doesn't have to be offline, as long as it doesn't use 50GB per word or something ridiculous like that. Thanks!

I love the Bing Translator app.

Hi. I've tried your app, but I didn't like it. Being able to suggest words as she types them, and the suggesting alternatives is vital. Also, the interface felt a bit cluttered. Sorry

// This looks good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hpJ3_oBcTw I'll try it out later.

Sorry

Don't be sorry - with over 100K happy customers I'm absolutely fine with it

P.S. BTW, I'm strongly recommending you to give your mom a chance to try VoiceTranslator. You might be very surprised...

I am not sure if it has all the features you need, but the Microsoft-made Bing Translator is quite a fine app. I have only used it lightly, so I don't know if it has everything you're looking for. But, again, it's quite awesome.

Bing translator should not have the first two functions listed (at this moment I have WP in assistance, so I can not try now).
I can tell you, however, that the program has the last two features you'd like, there is also recognition by the camera and voice (though the latter takes an active connection).
I am very well and then bing translator is one of the best (perhaps better than Google translator)

It doesn't really need extra features. She's not very technologically advanced, and it takes her months to get to know a phone, especially a smartphone. I'm starting to doubt I'm her son really
