FREELANG Dictionary - Installation Manual |
There are two files to download and install: the program, and a word list (or several word lists).
Tips for downloading:
- When you download a file, make sure you know where it goes on your computer, because you will have to find it and double-click on it.
- Before downloading a file, please take note of the file size, so as to make sure that the downloadig has completed successfully. Good websites (like this one :-)) always provide the size of the files to download.
- If the download was interrupted, try to download again. But be careful, sometimes the corrupted file is kept in memory (this is a common process on the Web, things you see are kept in memory so as to be displayed faster when you see them again) and you just download the incomplete file again. To solve the problem, delete your temporary Internet files, or just be patient before trying to download again.
Our dictionary program is compatible with all versions of Windows, from Windows 95 to Windows Vista.
Note to Windows 95/98 users: if you can't install our program, please download our previous version.
Freelang dictionary is made of two components: the program, and at least one word list. You can install as many word lists as you want, with only one installation of the program. But the program and all the word lists must be installed in the same folder (same directory). We recommend that you accept the default directory suggested during the installation.
To install the program and a list:
- Download the program setup file (the link is on every page dedicated to a language) in a temporary folder (or on your desktop) and double-click on it to install.
- Do the same for the word list and make sure you install it in the same folder as the program (which is already the case if you accept the suggested folder).
- Use the icon created in your Start menu to launch the dictionary.
Freelang dictionary only runs with Windows. It is a stand-alone program, it doesn't integrate into other applications like Internet Explorer or Microsoft Word. It is a simple bilingual dictionary, not an automatic text translator.
3. Installation of an update |
Installing an update is as easy as installing a list for the first time. But the new list will replace your old one, so if you had added some words to the list, or if you had corrected some entries, everything will be lost.
To avoid that, please contact us. We will tell you how to send us your word lists, so that everyone could benefit from your updates.
4. Uninstallation of the dictionary |
To remove Freelang dictionary, go to Start menu, Settings, Control Panel, Add/remove Programs. Then find the two lines corresponding to Freelang, select and click Remove button.
Personal word lists are not deleted automatically, so you may have to remove them manually.
5. Before contacting us... |
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions, just make sure you have read this page, as well as the FAQ (answers to frequently asked questions).
If you have a problem with the dictionary, please describe it precisely. Tell us what version of Windows you are using, what language list you are trying to install and how you have done so far. The more precise the description is, the sooner you will get an answer. We receive a lot of emails each day and we reply in our free time.
Thank you for your understanding!
