Some good Spanish to English / English to Spanish desktop translation program?
I'm looking for a free or cheap desktop translation app (platform=winxp) with functionality similar to that of WordWeb (hotkey, dictionary, thesaurus, pronunciation variants, etc). Bonus points for multiple languages.

Response by poster: thanks ori, this is excellent! does the trial expire within x days? I couldn't find any such statement on the site.

Ultralingua is adequate for translations, although not exhaustive. It also has modules for many different languages.

IIRC, the Babylon trial expires within 30 days, after that it progressively cripples the program.
Note that the linguistic quality of the included dictionaries Babylon is not very good, and you'll probably want to consider the premium dictionaries (although I can't tell if they're much better).
Another alternative is iFinger. Not as fancy as Babylon, but the quality of the Pop-up Concise Oxford English-Spanish-English Dictionary is really good (free trial available).
