The URL is http://www.lhsl.com/simplytranslating/deluxe/ It is only $99, but I must add that the company is in financial trouble at this moment, and I have no idea whether their sales channels still work. For Dutch there aren't any real alternatives, to my knowledge.

Re: [MT-List] Dutch-English or Dutch -French
Dear Nada, Further to Steven Krauwer's answer. According to my data (in the "Compendium of translation software", available on the EAMT website www.eamt.org), translation software for Dutch to/from English is also offered by: PC-Translator (Linguistic Products) World Translator I have not seen either product (both cheap) so do not know the quality. URLs: www.PCTranslator.com www.worldlanguage.com As far as I can tell, the LH product 'Simply Translating' is no more than a dictionary look-up system for many of its language pairs, and this includes Dutch. For Dutch-French there is only the old METAL system available on special terms from LANTMARK (probably not suiting your needs.)
