Title: Translation softwear+kokosoft Tiptek
Post by: Carpete on August 01, 2005, 22:00:18 PM: We have a copy of the above softwear but we are unable to either make it print out or to make the programme kick off in English :-\so we can read all the instructions to use it. Anyone out there know of this softwear please? A search has proved useless and some of the results look as if they are of a dubious nature so don't want to open them! Also, does anyone know of any other translation softwear available that you can type into in one language and it translates into Turkish that is English generated so we can read the instructions? In hope!!!! :)

Have you tried to contact them direct at http://www.kokosoftware.com

Three times I have now contacted Turkish companies for translations and all three replied back very quickly with the information I asked for.

Post by: Carpete on August 03, 2005, 12:44:44 PM: Thanks for all the info! Like the look of the talking translator. Will try and buy one in Turkey. I have contacted Kokosoft Sinbad but they have come back with the message "the machine is not ready yet"......I have tried another email! Was hoping I could go armed with pre-typed notes on a variety of topics out that I could give to various Turkish people such as "please give me an itemised breakdown of costs" LOL! Ta all!

Post by: bplbpl on October 08, 2005, 23:56:29 PM: I know this is an old post - but i was wondering if anyone had bought one and if so did it work? Sounds a good idea but i imagine the vocab must be limited??

Post by: Sinbad on October 10, 2005, 08:09:20 AM: Limited vocab but enough to get important things done. Practice makes using it simpler to use.
