The features and limitations of your software may vary, depending on the

The SYSTRAN Clipboard Taskbar (SCT) lets you translate text from most any application
by cutting or copying text to the Windows Clipboard. SCT automatically translates the
Clipboard text, which you can then paste into your application using the appropriate
commands in your application. SCT is particularly convenient when you want to perform
translations in applications for which there are no SYSTRAN 5.0 plugins.
By default, SCT lets you cut, copy and paste Clipboard text within the same
application. For users who want to paste translated text from the Clipboard into
different applications, SCT provides a Cross-Application Support option. By default,
this option is disabled to increase efficiency. However, you can enable it if you want to
cut or copy text from one application and paste the translated text into another
application. For example, you can highlight text in Notepad and press Ctrl+C to copy
the text to the Clipboard. After translating, you can then go to WordPad and press
Ctrl+V to paste the translated text from the Clipboard.
The SCT also provides an Active Clipboard option. When Active Clipboard is enabled,
the translation process occurs automatically when you cut or copy text to the
Clipboard, without having to click the Translate button. This option gives you the
convenience of translating text using the fewest number of mouse clicks. It is
particularly convenient if you will be performing many translations and don’t want to
click the Translate button for each translation.
