Default English to Albanian dictionary?

A bit of a long shot I know My friend wants to send a doc to his
girlfriend back home - she only speaks Albanian. I tried to install the
online collins dictionary but the link in the Microsoft Website is broken.
Having looked on the web I'm not too sure that English to Albanian is very
likely. I don't really want to do it a word at a time - I'd rather right
click and translate. I don't mind using an interim langauge: English - ???
- Albanian.

Any ideas folks?

Default English to Albanian dictionary?

If your friend is unable to write in Albanian, the correspondence between
him and his girlfriend is going to be somewhat brief.

Word is not a translation program and as far as I am aware there is no
Albanian dictionary available for Word

Translation tools are available on line
http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourc...+to+ Albanian
but invariably they produce gibberish and can only be used as a rudimentary
guide. I cannot see a relationship built on the aid of such a tool lasting

I reckon the guy was trynig to impress his girlfriend somehow.

I agree - I've shown a French speaking student how to translate for revision
purposes but I know that Albanian was a much longer shot.

Cool - I'll check it out. A friend does English to Chineese translation
software - I've just mailed him. I've asked him to get a quote from
cosmosite but I reckon the guy may be a bit of a joker anyway. It's quite a
techy document that he copied off the web (petrochemical analysis). If she
is studying this then she surely must have a smattering of English. He
wanted to pay but I said that I didn't want anything - a wise move I reckon.


Thanks for the link - Jim
