I am using Babylon for a while and it is pretty fits often my needs. But I am wondering if exists any good alternatives to it. I specified my needs below:
Key features
Broad dictionary support: Beside individual works, big and professional dictionaries like Oxford, Redhouse etc. should be available.
Offline use of dictionaries. I am not always have a internet connection. So, I need an offline product.
Quick ask, quick find: Babylon can recognize most words appears on the screen with one-click. But as installed dictionary count increases, query performance slow down. Also its GUI becomes heavier in latest versions.
Optional but plus
Text translation: Ability to translate sentences.
Up to date: Updates itself and dictionaries when connected to internet.

I hardly dig your automatic translation to English. You want a dictionary that misappropriates OED and Redhouse to your hard drive,
You want it to become slower over time
You will not use it if it ever translates a phrase, or attempts to update from internet.... – ZaB – 2012-02-23T17:14:18.260
What? We both talking about same thing? – mmdemirbas – 2012-02-24T08:01:02.820
