In our recent review of the World Concepts Language Translator software, we lamented the inability to cut and paste text. Fortunately, that proved an oversight. Depending on the keyboard/keypad of your device, you may be able to copy from an e-mail, web page, Word document or other source and paste the text into the translation window. Here's how to do it on a Verizon XV6800.

 

Open WCI Translation

 

Open your source-Internet Explorer, Word, etc.

 

Using the stylus, highlight the text you want to translate

 

Click on the keypad icon on the bottom menu bar

 

Touch CTRL then "C" on your keypad, with the stylus

 

Switch to WCI Translation and click in the upper window

 

Next, tap CTRL then "V" on the keypad to paste your source text

 

Select the language you want to translate from and to

 

Click translate

The QWERTY keyboard on this device doesn't have a Ctrl key, which stymied our earlier efforts at cut and paste. But, with this keypad option, the functionality of the translator software grows exponentially.
