The Google Translation Client does not need to be installed, just download the executable to a location of your choice, and launch the executable. There are no extra dependencies, and the application does not rely on heavy frameworks such as .NET. It does not make any permanent changes to the configuration of your system, nor does it store any data in the Windows registry. If you no longer need this application, just close the application and delete the executable, there is nothing to uninstall.
Configuration settings are stored in the “GoogleTranslate.dat” file. This file has to be present in the same folder as the executable. If you move the application to a new location, please make sure to copy that file as well. If the file is missing, simply return to the configuration screen and a new configuration file will be created.
If you want this application to run automatically every time you start your computer, just create a shortcut to the executable (or copy the executable itself) in the Windows startup folder, and you are done.
Important: By using this software, you agree to the terms of the Mount White Technology Solutions Software Disclaimer. You also agree to Google’s Terms of Service, Attribution Requirements and HTML Markup requirements governing the use of the Google Translate API.
Important: Once you enter your API key, it will be encrypted and stored in the “GoogleTranslate.dat” configuration file. Please keep that file in a safe location. The key is encrypted so that your key is not readily available in plain text on your hard drive. However, please keep in mind that the encryption key is shared, and that anyone with the Google Translate client will be able to decrypt it.
