Ultralingua English-French Dictionary. It doesn't allow to turn on any other font but West Europe or Cyrillic. Instead of "être" for example, it shows "etre" and so for.
Has anyone had the same problem?
Advices?
No problem with me.
Install Windows foreign languages French option in your task bar.
From Ultralingua:
be v. p.,p.p.: was, were, been < bE > : 1. être v. fut.: ser-; p.p.: été 2. exister v. 3. aller v. fut.: ir- (in good, bad health, etc. / bien, mal, etc.) 4. se trouver expr. (be located: "the cafe is behind the church" / "le café se trouve derrière l'église")
Do you see the accents?
Good advice, Francis, but if it were so simple I wouldn't have opened up with the topic. I have installed an additional Windows multilingual support, set French as my main Windows language, turned on Central European fonts everywhere I could and re-installed the ULEF, but all this is useless.
Meanwhile I've contacted the Ultra Lingua technical support and all I got in response was: we have no idea what happens, so we won't give a damn to your problem.
So, friends, if once you are in doubt at a CD department whether to pay your 30$ for an UL product, re-think it 10 times more, because you may be certain that in case of trouble all technical support you can receive will be a polite form of "f*** off". Especially it's true for ones who use more than one character sets - for them it would be just a useless waste of money.
Good news at last. I've found a way to see the accents! If I select a word and copy to the Word (Microsoft Word now) then the accents will marvellously appear. Glory to the genious MS Word inventor!
