A complete dictionary, translation and reference tool
Babylon is a complete dictionary and translation solution, perfect for anyone who frequently works with multiple languages.
Babylon works from various aspects. The main interface is a translation window. From here you can access all the program features, as well as the configuration options. There is also a floating module which will appear when you ask Babylon for a translation. The whole module can be disabled if you want.
No matter which option you use, Babylon provides access to a standard multi-lingual dictionary (to which you can add an unlimited number of additional dictionaries), a text/document translation feature, a unit converter, web search and, of course, access to Babylon's paid translation services.
You can also use Babylon inside applications and online as an on-the-spot translation tool. You can configure the feature in the options area, but the default hotkey is Ctrl+right click. This will allow you to translate whatever word you happen to be hovering over or have highlighted.
In all, Babylon is a very complete tool for language enthusiasts. The translations are accurate (in the context of machine translation) and system-wide integration means that you'll never have to wonder about a word again, no matter what you are working on.
If you have to work with foreign languages on a regular basis, Babylon is a comprehensive, well-integrated tool for the job.

Stay away from this mold!.
Came with a bunch of spam and persistent programms that I couldn't get rid of any way I tried. To fully and permanently get rid of it I had to reset my pc to a previous point where it wasn't installed yet and still I found remains of it in various places. It's like mold, expands everywhere and you just can't get rid of it.
Pros:
Nothing
Cons:
Needs to get rid of all the extras it comes with More

Unable to install. Unhelpful service. Looking for refund if they respond .
I purchased the instant download version babylon 9 on december 3 . It is december 8 and i still have not been able to use it. It installs correctly but when i try to enter the license number i get a message saying my license has expired. I brought this to the attention of avanquest, after spending hours on the phone, holding for customer service. They sent me another link and its the same problem. Finally after many more hours on wait , i was told babylon 9 will handle this problem online. I should fill out a request form which i did on friday. It is monday afternoon, december 8. I have not recieved any response. I am told to get a refund i will have to wait 30 days. What a waste of time and money. Do not buy this product.
Pros:
Can say. I haven.t been able to use it
Cons:
Response from the company is missing
I would like a refund but i doubt they will respond to that request. More
