Legacy Update: Get back online, activate, and install updates on your legacy Windows PC

The download includes a set of files required to build and install a minimal Office System 2003 bilingual translation dictionary, available by using the research pane.

This tool accompanies the article, "Add a Bilingual Translation Dictionary Service to Microsoft Office System" available on MSDN. To read the article, click the link available from the Related Resources section of this page.

The Translation Dictionaries article enables Microsoft’s partners – be they specialized ISVs or dictionary publishers – to create additional bilingual dictionaries and deliver these to users of Office within the familiar Office interface. With the help of this resource, partners can adapt dictionary content they already own and integrate it completely into Office 2003.

Once the new dictionary content is ready, the partner makes this available to the user for a one-time installation (e.g. from CD or the Web) to their hard drive. The user can then access it in the same way as the bilingual dictionaries which ship with Office 2003, i.e. through the Research Pane or by simply right-clicking on the word to be translated.
