Registration

Registration Fee
13 USD or
14 EUR or
28 DEM

If you want to register the application, you can do this in two ways:

online-Registration
Go to the homepage of Eng-Ger at http://www.RalfZimmermann.de/eng_ger/. On the bottom of the page you will find a button with a link to my registration page. It uses https for a secured connection. There you enter the HotSync-UserName of your Palm OS handheld. On the next page you enter your CreditCard information and address.
If all data is complete, you will get your registration key immediately via email.
The online-Registration only accepts USD as currency for payment.
bank account
You can transfer the money to my German bank account:
Ralf Zimmermann
NaSpa Wiesbaden
Bankleitzahl 510 500 15
Konto-Nummer 1010 299 72
For users outside of Germany, this might be a costy thing to do. I would recommend the online-Registration mentioned above.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is there no way to translate from German to English?
Yes, there is a way.
Select 'Search' in the upper right of the screen and you will get to the search screen of the application. On this screen, you can enter English or German words. The application will show you any translation that contains this word, no matter if the word was english or german.
However, on the display you will always find the english expression on the left and the german translation on the right.
How is the matching entry connected to the string that I entered?
The application looks for words that have the entered string as their beginning. Words that contain the string within themselves will not be considered matching. This means that if you are looking for 'rust', you will not find 'trust'.
I want to enter my own vocabulary
At the moment, you can't do that with Eng-Ger.
If you have vocabulary that you think is missing, please send me an email and i will have a look at it.
Are there any plans to add articles to the dictionary, so that one can tell the difference between, say, die and der bank?
The database started without german articles about five years ago. I am in the process of adding the articles step by step. But i can't say how long this takes to be finished.


Version History

This is a short description of the differences between the versions that were released.

1.4.1    (2001-07-08)
  • Bug fix: In Version 1.4, users got an error message when browsing words starting with 'z'.

1.4    (2001-07-02)
  • The application is now checking for expansion cards like on the Palm m50x. This means that you can now have the application and/or the database on expansion cards, like a MultiMediaCard.
  • Minor bug fixes.
  • The database has more words and fewer errors.

1.3    (2001-06-24)
  • Added a dialog to show the build date of the database.
  • Minor bug fixes.
  • The database has more words and fewer errors.

1.2    (2001-05-20)
  • The database has more words and fewer errors.
  • Added the dialog 'HotSync UserName', which exactly displays the HotSync UserName of the Palm OS handheld.
    This is usefull, if during registration, there is uncertainty about double spaces or unusual characters (which affect the registration key).

1.1    (2001-02-24)
  • The Search has been speeded up by the factor of ten. This is due to a lot of optimization in the code that i added after the release 1.0 was perfectly stable.
  • Added Cut/Copy/Paste support. For example, now you can copy the results and paste it into your notepad or mail application.
  • Improved and enhanced the database.

1.0    (2001-02-04)
This is the first version of Eng-Ger that was released for Palm OS handhelds.

0.5    (1998-09-14)
This is the last version that I released for the Atari ST computer so far.
