Hi Josh,
Thanks for the quick response.
1. Sometimes I make typos or want to make other changes before I am
ready to hit "translate." With the new version I don't have the
opportunity to get the text like I want it, and the computer's
attempts to guess at what I want is annoying.
I find the on-the-fly translation very distracting as I type.
2. Maybe the on-the-fly translation would be OK for single words or
sentences, but I frequently enter paragraphs or more. It is then
impossible to compare the translation to the original text because of
the tiny window. Re-sizing the text entry window would go a long way
toward making this formerly great Google service usable for me again.
Thanks,
Owen
