Add the fucntion----Capture phrases on screen

[bushhu]

I am a Chinese student, my English is very poor. When I read some PDF files which written in English, some words and phrases I don’t understand their meanings. So I had to use some translation software which can translate English into Chinese. But your PDF-XChange Viewer only can capture words, if you can add the function which can capture phrases, I will appreciate your works in my hot heart.

Thanks.

Hi Bushhu,

By what method are you "capturing" words?

thanks,

Hi,Chris.
Just seen in the picture "Snap.jpg" in "Snap.rar" archive file，when I move cursor to an English word or a phrase on screen, the translation software “Kingsoft ciba” can capture the word or phrase and show their Chinese meanings.
But your PDF-Xchange Viewer only permit the translation software capture the word “had” and “to”, the phrase “had to” can not be captured, so I don’t understand the meanings of “had to”.
Could you help me?
Thanks.

Viewer support translators for a long time already. Please let me know the translation tool you are using and I will check why it doesn't work on your side.

Hi bushhu,

is it the translation software “Kingsoft ciba” that you are saying does not translate phrases?

[bushhu]

Hi Paul,
the translation software “Kingsoft ciba”can't translate phrases in your PDF-XChange Viewer, but it can translate phrases in new Foxit Reader version. why?

Hi bushhu,

Currently Ivan is testing the Kingsoft ciba with the PDF-XChnage Viewer; most translators for example Linvo 12, Nad Translate IT! and others work without problem. Can you tell us which operating system you are using and whether it is 32 or 64 bit, If it is 64 but the translator you are using is 32 but and may not work with 64 bit applications. Let us know.

Regards,
Chris

Hi Chris,
I posted a archive file "snap.rar" which contain two pictures, one is snaped in your PDF-Xchange Viewer, one is snaped in Foxit PDF Reader. You can see the same phrase "as long as", it can be captured as one phrase--"as long as" in Foxit PDF Reader and give its Chinese meaning by translator software "kingsoft ciba", however in your PDF-Xchange Viewer, it only can be captured as three separated words--"as","long", "as" and olny give their separated chinese meanings by the same translator software "kingsoft ciba".
I used windows XP sp3, the translator software is "kingsoft ciba 2007", you can dowload it in http://cp.iciba.com/xiazai_buding.shtml
thanks.

Hi Bushhu,

Is your XP 32 or 64 bit, if you right click my computer and click properties it should say and if it doesn't read 64 bit than it's 32.

Cheers,
Chris

Hi Ivan,
You can download the "English to Chinese" translator from the URL: http://download.iciba.com/Pw2009_oxf/Po ... 9.4011.exe
My operation system is Windows XP+SP3
Thanks.

First, it works on my side:



And second, it crashes Windows Explorer on Windows 7 constantly -- so, please contact the developers of this buggy soft.

In my side , it can properly work, olny can not capture phrase.
My operation system is windows XP+sp3. I never use windows 7.
My desirable function is words and phrases in PDF files can be captured and given their Chinese meaning by English-Chinese dictionary translator software.
