Translate Tab 4+

Translate Tab works well and seems to translate individual words and short phrases accurately. There is only one annoying aspect to it: When you set the Preferences to start Translate Tab automatically upon powering up your Mac, the drop-down menu automatically opens when the Mac has awakened. Not a big deal; you can click anywhere on screen to close the window. But why have the app do that at all? Plus, it's useless for the app to do that because before I can use Translate Tab, I have to open other apps, and this is an action that will close the Translate Tab window.

This translator is the best one of all I tired, and I tried many of them (both free and not free). TranslateTab does not only provide translations; it also includes synonyms and examples of sentences. There is one little thing, however, that I find annoying: there is no “hide after start” option when "start automatically” is selected. So, every time the computer starts, the window opens, and it stays open unless is closed manually. This is just one minor issue - not so important - this is why I am giving 5 stars. It would be great, though, if “hide after start" option was added. Besides that, TranslateTab is perfect.

Installing this on a new Mac and just realized I've never reviewed it. I use this daily and it's wonderful. Very quick when I need to look something up. The only thing that could really be better is copying the translation. Sometimes it's hard to tell if it copied it yet or not.
