This application is nothing special. I believe anyone with some programming experience could make it better. I just want to practice more so that I will be able to program something big in the future.
If you have used Google translate, you should know that it is a very handy tool for translating text in different languages. The drawback of using it is you cannot always expect the translated text to be precise and human-readable. After all it is just a piece of software and it does not really understand grammar and semantics. Note that you must be online in order to perform the translation function since my application retrieves translated text from Google Translate itself.
There are still a lot of things waiting to be improved such as user interface, exception handling, functionality, etc. But I don't want to spend my whole day on coding this application.
The application is programmed in Java. So you have to make sure that you have Java Runtime Environment installed on your computer. If you cannot run my application, you may download the latest Java Runtime Environment installer for free at http://www.java.com/. If you find any bug or if you have anything to say about the application, leave your comments on this post so I can view them.

I am hosting the application on Mediafire since Blogger does not allow me to host any executable file. Simply download the file and once it is done, double-click it to launch the application. No installation is required.
Enjoy!
