Hmm...
It is missing a bunch of ".dll"s .

@vmars: as noted in the official forum topic (see https://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=102023#p102023), Crow Translate requires the latest MSVC runtimes to work.

There were no changes for a long time, and three more appeared in a short time. There is already version 2.9.5

Looks like the project is closed. Anyone know a decent alternative (small size, multiple translation services, handy pop-up translation...)?

lintalist on 2023-08-08 12:43

@nh As long as QTranslate still works, it works.
Crow Translate - https://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=3046 - select text, Ctrl+Alt+E for the popup, but I find the popup to be less convenient compared to QTranslate.

Don't you think the entry needs to be cleaned up a little? I'm thinking of categories, bold typeface and hyperlinks.

The latest version of Lingoes is 2.9.2- http://www.lingoes.net/en/translator/download.htm
However I would like to ask- is there a way to block the annoying ads? I would rather stop using Lingoes than tolerating the obtrusive ads Lingoes spews out at every search.

@ smaragdus: Thanks ... and updated ;)

Is there any way to download dictionaries currently? All of them give 403-404 errors.

Likely this will also need copy paste to work
