[»] Not good for foreign scripts
by Benjamin Kite - Mar 20th 2006 19:11:47

Despite the claims made on the website about foreign
language support, the support for this product is lousy.
Worldtext is obsolete and anyone using updated versions of
OS X will have lots of problems with foreign language text if it's
in a non-Latin alphabet. This is because the author (despite
promises to the contrary) is not interested in adding Unicode
support to this product.

I bought the full version hoping to support the author so that
he would continue to work on this project, but there hasn't
been an update for quite some time, and even then, the
support seems to be primarily for PalmOS, which is of no use
to me.

- Cutting and pasting from Safari or TextEdit or other
applications doesn't work
- Centering and other formatting doesn't work properly
- Import for Unicode files is not available
- Unicode export doesn't include the entire card text and is
broken
- Cards shared with a friend (who also bought the full version)
come up garbled and useless


I've specifically had problems with Chinese, Hebrew and
Russian. The Hebrew I can understand, but as far as the
other products, the author has been apathetic and/or
unresponsive.

If you're learning a romance language or German or
something other than foreign language, this product has an
excellent featureset and works well with only occasional (but
frustrating) crashes. I'd recommend this software highly if it
lived up to its advertisement as an excellent foreign language
teaching aid. The fact is, that it is a frustrating foreign
language teaching aid for foreign scripts.
