TranslateIt! for Mac (http://www.mac.gettranslateit.com/) — a multilingual dictionary that allows looking up words on the fly — has been updated to version 14. The main window’s search function now supports wildcards, which is useful for solving crosswords and playing other word-based games. Also, now a user can create his own dictionaries (adding, deleting and editing).

With TranslateIt!, you hover the pointer over an unfamiliar word (in any Cocoa application), and you will see its translation in a pop-up window. It comes with several free dictionaries for a large number of languages. TranslateIt! supports translation from/to any language (corresponding dictionaries must be installed), English sounds (it contains over 17,000 English words pronunciations) and printing of flash cards.

The software also comes with a Words Quiz (a game for learning new words), a built-in DictBuilder utility for creating custom dictionaries and a multilingual user interface. Any user can buy a lifetime license for any price for a limited time at http://mac.gettranslateit.com/en/variator.shtml .
