Tuned Babylon transcription support in the on-the-fly translation window, and in the Widget
Improved the on-the-fly translation module (the low level text capture engine)

Application exception support added for on-the-fly translation (see the 4th tab of the Preferences), please, note however, that, for the sake of usability, this filter isn't used in the Look up once mode, because it is a user's direct decision to translate something

Optimized internal integrity checks
Snow Leopard changes: restored association of saved history files with TI
Improved: learning history fast insert with short selected translation
History background auto recovery feature implemented (by default, it backs up the history list once per minute (60 seconds), however you can set any interval between 20 seconds and 20 minutes (in seconds, e.g. for 2 minutes, the value would be 120):

defaults write ru.DeepIT.TranslateIt TIHistoryAutoRecoveryTime -int 120

to turn auto recovery off:

defaults write ru.DeepIT.TranslateIt TIHistoryAutoRecoveryTime -int 0

to revert to the default behavior:

defaults delete ru.DeepIT.TranslateIt TIHistoryAutoRecoveryTime
Fixed minor memory leaks while working with property list files
New button added to the pop-up window that allows to quickly add current word to the history list
Fixed redirect issues (301, 302 HTTP error codes) related to curl utility usage when downloading packages (dictionaries, sounds, etc) from remote servers
Finally, support for pronunciation sounds added to the pop-up window and the Widget
Added a button to the History drawer to quickly launch a Quiz
Custom move mode added for the pop-up window: Click the window while holding the CMD key, move your mouse to the required screen position, then click again

I've only used this application for a few minutes but already noticed some glaring problems:

The preferences sheet uses a cube animation when you switch between the different section panes, which looks really out of place, odd and totally confusing.
Results for at least one dictionary (Spanish-English/TI!) showed up in raw HTML and were thus not readable at all.
The dashboard widget looks just horrible, and its transparancy makes it hard to read. It also doesn't seem to actually work.

Again, I have only used the application a few minutes. At first glance, the basic application seems very useful, especially given the lack of similar applications on the Mac, but the above problems at the moment don't give me a lot of confidence to be willing to pay for it. The dashboard widget could use a complete redevelopment.

A well done, very useful program. Seems to have good support as well -- they responded promptly when I had a problem. Russian-oriented, since the program's developers appear to be Russian -- but there are dictionaries available that get you between English and a variety of other languages, and open-source dictionaries are also fully usable. I am personally using this program all the time.

My only criticism is that it is a bit unobvious how to install dictionaries. I figured it out (click on plus under dictionaries, and don't do anything else except click on the dictionary files you want to install) -- but some more guidance would be useful.

Now TranslateIt comes with a widget as well -- but don't judge the package by the widget, which looks very odd indeed. (Initially, I thought I was having some kind of video problem when I first saw it.) Additionally it does not seem to work reliably. So I just ignore the widget, and use the regular program instead -- which does not look odd and works perfectly.
