 The world is a smaller place, thanks to email, and the way it allows messages to travel almost instantly around the globe. Which is great, as long as those messages can be understood when they arrive, because (hard though it is to believe) there are still some people in the world who don't speak English.
This doesn't have to be a problem if you've got Translution, though. This ingenious product installs an Outlook add-in that automatically handles the translation process for you. Just set your required language for a given contact (French, German, Italian and Spanish are supported), write and send your message as usual. Translution then processes the message, and the translated version arrives in your recipients mailbox.
This version of Translution won't translate incoming emails, unfortunately (although you can get around this by sending a message to yourself). But you need to be careful about workarounds like that, because Translution Light has some significant restrictions: it only works with single recipient emails, for instance (no CC or BCC entries), each email can be a maximum of 250 words, and it'll only translate a maximum of 15 emails every 30 days.
Still, you don't need to worry about any of that just yet, because the program initially installs as a trial version of Translution Pro. Not only does that drop these restrictions, but it also plugs into Word and Internet Explorer to translate documents and Word pages as required. It expires after 60 days and you're back to Outlook-only Translution Light, though, so be sure to try out the translation features while they're available.
