Have you ever been faced by a situation where you've received some text in a strange language but you can't identify what it is?

Polyglot 3000 (despite sounding like some kind of wall filler!) is a language recognition package which recognizes more than 400 languages. Simply paste in the text that you need identifying and P3000 will immediately throw up suggestions as to what it could be. The program is lightning fast at detecting the language of the text and it also gives you an estimate of how accurate the results are (which is usually 100% although if the language shares similar words with another language, it may be slightly lower). As far as customisation goes, it's very limited though with the only real option being that of setting it to check for only popular languages. However, with so many languages in use over the internet, this program is an excellent starting point for anyone trying to identify the origin of a blog language or website that they don't understand.

If you're just looking for a one stop, simple way to identify the language of some mysterious text, Polyglot 3000 will do it in a flash but note that it doesn't perform any kind of translation.

NuCode is based around a set of lessons that includes the whole Morse code alphabet and other characters. If you can successfully complete the lessons then you will ace the FCC 5WPM code test.

No previous knowledge of the Morse code alphabet is assumed and you are gently introduced to a few characters to start with in the early lessons. Then you work through to the final lesson at your own pace. Right from the start you practice at your final target speed of 6 WPM with just a few initial characters.

Once you have learned to reliably copy this small group of characters a few more characters are added and you will again practice until you can copy them all reliably at full speed.

Lingobit Localizer is an easy to use software localization tool, aimed to make collaboration with translators smooth and efficient.

Lingobit Localizer extracts localizable resources from your application and makes it easy to translate, check and preview translations. When the translation is ready, Localizer creates a localized version of your application - no source code changing is required.

Localization can be done in-house or delegated to another company. In the latter case, translation tasks are distributed via self-extracting localization kits with a project file (no source-code) and a ‘lite’ edition of localizer for translators.

When you release a new version of your software, old translations are automatically merged with resources from the next version and you'll only need to translate new and changed content.

Start using Lingobit Localizer today and it could save you a lot of time and effort.

Code Weaver is a simple morse code program that reads characters from a text file and then plays audio samples in sequence. Each audio sample is selected by the current text character in the text file being read.

By default each audio file contains Morse code and so the program functions as a text to Morse code generator. Extra groups of custom audio files can be added so that many styles of Morse code can be emulated, full instructions on adding extra sounds are included in the program.

The Code Weaver program is not intended as a teaching aid, it is for fun. There is better software for learning Morse code. If you want to learn Morse code then try the other pages on this website where you will find some excellent Morse code training software.
