| Language software that features a dictionary, translator, and language learning. Includes maps of the Philippines and a peso converter
Translator
This is a word for word text translator. Translates in either direction. Translates letters, word lists, or any text-formatted document. Create your own customized word lists - a translated list of words that can be printed
Language Learning
Contains related words in different categories. See the screen shot to see an example of a word list. It can be played in sequence similar to an audiocassette tape. Unlike a tape, you can select any number of words from each category. The speed is controllable, and the lists may be printed. This feature is not available in the Ilocano version. The next Ilocano release will contain this utility
Dictionary
Indexed in both languages, quickly locates a word in either language. Enter the desired word, or first part of the word to locate the corresponding word in the other language. You can also move sequentially backward or forward. These words can be copied and pasted into any other Windows documents. Note: the first release of Ilocano does not have sound in the dictionary.
Maps
Includes maps of the Philippines, the Manila area, Cebu Province, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific. Click on a map location to hear it pronounced. Learn the geography as well as the correct pronunciation of locations in the Philippines. Other information is presented on locations selected. Displays current Philippine time. The maps may be printed.
Conversion Utilities
Includes a Peso/Dollar converter and metric conversion utility. Convert dollars (or other monetary units) to pesos, or pesos to dollars. Also includes a utility to convert between miles/kilometers, pounds/kilograms, gallons/liters, and temperature conversions. See metric converter. Set the location from any time zone to obtain the current Philippine time. In addition, the software includes Filipino Language guidelines, Philippine travel information, and Filipino related internet sites. Context sensitive help is available by pressing the F1 key. The maps, language lists, and translated documents may all be printed.
