Ultralingua, Inc., Releases Version 5.0

(I-Newswire) January 7, 2005 - Ultralingua announced today the release of Ultralingua 5.0 for the Microsoft Windows operating system, a significant advancement for their line of powerful bilingual and monolingual dictionaries.

With the advent of version 5.0, Ultralingua Translation Dictionary software users will now have the benefit of vastly enhanced databases, stemming (recognition of conjugated and other inflected forms) for most languages, a special mini-mode (to take up less room on the desktop), seamless interaction with other applications, and much more.

"With version 5.0 now available on multiple platforms, we are providing all customers with the powerful functionality in Ultralingua Translation Dictionary software products, while maintaining our easy to use interface. The improved databases, increased interoperability, and stemming in this version are truly exceptional," said Chad Johnson, Ultralingua General Manager. "We are especially excited about the ability for users to use Ultralingua to receive a pop-up translation of words in other applications."

Version 5.0 for Windows is the latest release in the company's strategy of providing ongoing updates on a variety of platforms. Last year the Company released version 5.0 for Mac OS X, an enhanced Internet subscription version (www.ultralingua.net), and are working on an update for the Palm OS for the Spring.
