How does Ultralingua use OS X services?
Apple’s OS 10 offers system wide services through the “Services” menu of each application (look under the application’s main menu). This means that certain features of one application may be used from within another application. Within applications that are “OS 10 services enabled” (applications such as Eudora, Mail, TexEdit, Safari — but currently not Word or AppleWorks), you can use the services menu to send a selected word to Ultralingua. Better yet, you can select a word in one of these applications, and then use the keyboard shortcut “Command-Shift-E” to send it directly to Ultralingua. Here is what you need to do to use OS 10 services: • Install Ultralingua 4.2 or higher in the Applications folder of your hard drive. (Services are only available from this folder.) • Restart your machine; or, log out of OS 10, and log back in. (You may have to wait a few moments the first time the system scans for new services.) • Ultralingua should be enabled.
