This program translates only from english (not to). But as you write it could be useful for americans too. Because it is a dictionary as well as an Encyclopedia as a Thesaurus. Just try it - it's very easy to install. And extremely easy to use (that's the special about it) - you don't have to leave, what you are reading/doing.
Here is an example of an application:
Den·mark (dĕn'märk') (Abbr. Den.)
A country of northern Europe on Jutland and adjacent islands. It was unified in the 10th century by the Viking king Harold Bluetooth (died 985), who converted the people to Christianity. Denmark controlled England briefly in the 11th century and was united with Sweden until 1523 and with Norway until 1814. Copenhagen is the capital and the largest city. Population, 5,112,130.
Denmark, Dan. Danmark, officially Kingdom of Denmark, kingdom (1995 est. pop. 5,199,000), 16,629 sq mi (43,069 sq km), N Europe; bordered by Germany (S), the North Sea (W), the Skagerrak (N), and the Kattegat and the Øresund (E). The southernmost of the Scandinavian countries, Denmark includes most of the Jutland peninsula as well as more than 450 islands. The Faeroe Islands and Greenland, which are semiautonomous, lie to the northwest. Copenhagen is the capital and chief industrial center; other important cities are Århus, Odense, and Ålborg. Denmark, which is almost entirely low-lying, has traditionally been an agricultural country; after 1945, however, it greatly expanded its industrial base. The main commodities raised are livestock and poultry, root crops, and cereals. The leading manufactures include food products, chemicals, machinery, metals, and electrical and electronic equipment. Fishing, shipping, and tourism are also important. Nearly all the inhabitants speak Danish, and most belong to the established Lutheran Church. Denmark is a constitutional monarchy, governed under the 1953 constitution. Legislative power is vested in the unicameral Folketing (parliament); executive authority rests with the monarch and the appointed prime minister and cabinet. The reigning monarch is Queen Margaret II.
