What's new in this version:

This release is compatible only with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or later. Mac OS 10.4 support is frozen from this moment.
Latest stable version 10.2 (10209) of TranslateIt! for Mac OS X 10.4 is available at the official Site.
Starting with version 11.0, TranslateIt! is optimized for Mac OS X Leopard (PPC/Intel) and Mac OS X Snow Leopard (Intel), 64-bit Intel processors architecture support added.

- All software components are updated for compatibility with Snow Leopard 10.6 and 64-bit environment (Intel x86_64)
Google Online translation for the site content is now accessible from TranslateIt!'s Full Text Translation tool: just enter in the Source Text field a correct URL starting with http://, i.e. http://deepit.ru, then select Source and Destination languages and press the 'Translate' button. TranslateIt! will detect the Text or URL content automatically and select the required mode by itself. Web pages will be translated in the simple web browser that also supports the page navigation feature with continuing recursive translation.

- Some links need to be updated because some dictionaries were reorganized in the http://mytranslateit.com repository (see below)
- Now if the update link is outdated, TranslateIt! tries to auto recalculate it automatically
- Newly added Online Services receive Green Status just after installation
- Two new buttons added to the first tab of the Preferences dialog: one for new dictionaries installation and the second for looking for updates to existing dictionaries
- Now after clicking the 'Install More Dictionaries' menu item or the Question (help) button on the first Preferences' tab, two Web pages will open with a dictionary list (classical and repository)
- Shortcuts recorder component is updated
- Sparkle framework is updated
- Growl support is temporary disabled until Growl version 1.2 comes out (which should support the x86_64 architecture)
- Contextual Menu integration now has 64-bit support, but because of new Apple's policy, it won't work in the 64-bit environment for Snow Leopard. It still works with 32-bit applications. For 64-bit applications, you can use Services; fortunately, now related Services show also in the contextual menu. You could configure available services at the System Preferences / Keyboard / Keyboard Shortcuts / Services. Just activate 'Scan', ''Translate' and 'Add to history' TranslateIt! services.
- To make it easy for the user, newly created Online Services are assigned to All Dictionaries just after creation
- Online Services duplicates now inherit the dictionaries association from the source service
- To improve reading and standardize the behavior, Online Services rule sections now have auto re-ordering while saving
- New Online Services profiles added: Ru.Wiktionary, En.Wiktionary, Fr.Wiktionary, De.Wiktionary
- Integrated fast dictionary converter now compatible with new Apple Dictionary formats including new Snow Leopard format modifications
- Fast dictionary converter now also supports localized Apple dictionaries; while converting, it selects the content according with System Language settings

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.
