Language Aid allows you to simply hover your mouse cursor over any piece of Japanese text and with the click of a button or the tap of a keystroke, have dictionary lookups presented to you in a clean and simple floating window.

Here are some key features of "Language Aid":
Customizable lookup trigger to either a mouse or key combination.
Access to many different dictionaries through Jim Breen's WWWJDIC server.
Visually scaleable results so that you can see every stroke of that complicated kanji.
Quick access and dismissal. It is there when you need it but stays out of your way.

Limitations:
Runs in 5 minute demo mode.

What's New:
Addresses crashes and instability over time.
Allows copying of content out of the results window and pasting in other applications.
Automatic fade-away timer now optionally fades the results window after a set number of seconds.
