In Word 12 for Windows, there are tooltip translations. That is thru, a context menu, you can choose what language to translate a word. So let’s say you’re reading a French word doc and have selected English translations. Anytime you move your mouse over a word, a tooltip will popup with the definition.

I think Word 12 ships with French and Spanish. I wish it had German without the need for the multilingual kit. I’m not sure if Office Mac offers a multilingual kit.

Since I read Word docs in other languages all the time, I would love to have this.

Gary, what exactly do you mean by ‘tooltip language translation’?

Excellent. Hope Office 12 is going well. The #1 feature that I want soooooo badly is tooltip language translation. I hope that makes it over.

Forget the intel port for now, just get the new XML converters out (at least in beta form) before the end of Jan 2007. I think that this should be the MacBU priority number 1 (see my longer comment on the Mac Mojo blog).
