Here are 3 ideas related to the translation of entire documents.
1)
If I want to translate an entire document, I have to scroll through it word by word in Pleco. On the other hand, Google translate will translate an entire document. It would be great to add that feature, to see the whole translation in one go. (I know the Google translations from Chinese are pretty crap, but you can still get the gist of what was written.)
2)
Much easier, but also it would be a first on the Internet, would be a tool which takes a sentence, or a paragraph of Chinese characters, and translates it into Pinyin. That would be a great help if I want to give a speech in Chinese, or tell a Chinese joke, but I can't read all the characters that were written for me.
3)
Some years ago there was a project using millions of UN documents which had been officially translated into multiple languages, including Chinese, to create a database of millions of sentences and their translations. Is there any way that Pleco could tap into that to create a sentence or phrase translation tool? I know it would possibly be too big to download, but how about some kind of online access?
