Hi folks,

I am using the Knoppix 3.6 HD install and I am very satisfied with it.
Now I have just a single software request:

I am using a little tool called "Babylon" on my windows machine. This tool can translate text from the screen into a different language. The text recognition is done by OCR...

Can you recommend me a tool like this for Linux?

Thanks
Michael

Wordtrans is a front-end for several dictionaries. It supports some dictionaries in plain text such as i2e (English-Spanish) and de-en (German-English), dict servers and Babylon Translator's dictionaries (note that Babylon Translator is a windows shareware application).

Install it with klik://wordtrans-kde (klik client must be installed, see http://klik.berlios.de)
