As Dean of an International School, I must go back and forth with texts in several languages at both academic and administrative levels. As time becomes scarcer, using a dictionary, even a good one, becomes a problem… at least until I crossed paths with this wonderful program. At first I was wary, for I have seen many translation programs and none were to my satisfaction, for they lacked that quality of nuance and precision good translators have. To my surprise, however, this was different. It had nothing to envy from the traditional methods—in fact, you have a great compilation from the best dictionaries—and the job got done in a blink of an eye!!! My joy was complete when I saw it even had Latin. As a Classics Major, this has been a personal joy for me.

I cannot emphasize enough what an extraordinary tool Babylon v.8 has become in my job. Everybody wins: administrators, teachers, and students. I can get the best on and off-line in a matter of seconds.
