BbtranImageHandler.ashxStefano sent me a link to this great utility to translate text on your BlackBerry. The best part is that it is totally free. Keep in mind this is machine translation so it is not 100% accurate.

Features from their website:

  • Lightweight
  • No advertisements
  • Multiple translation services
  • 20 languages & more then 50 translation directions
  • Text translate & dictionary mode
  • Automatic software update
  • Additional services will be added on-the-fly without software update
  • Settings Screen
  • WiFi support
  • BIS/TCP Transport Selection
  • mds transport support
  • bis-b transport support

The application is available for OTA and desktop installation at this link

    Whoever is manning the Blackberry in that screenshot doesn’t know that you can just press a letter for a full second to capitalize it. ;-)

    Thanks, I like the tool I wrote too. I’ve tried to make it available to as many platforms as possible — including BlackBerry.

    Hi Angelo.
    Hi everyone.

    It’s me, author of BBTran.
    Sorry for some unreadyness of the web site.
    I’ll add feedback form soon.
    Meanwhile you can use Feedback form in BBTran. (Look for it in the menu). or just mail me at s.demyanov[@]gmail.com
    I’m trying to answer all requests.

    Few days ago I published an update (1.4) for BBTran. You can take a look.

    BTW, I can also add Mike’s translation service to BBTran if he doesn’t mind. But not sure to get his approval.
