This query might be a bit more appropriate on the main list. The main software being used currently is jboski/jbofi'e for translation, and Supermemo or other flash card programs for memorizing vocabulary. I'm not too familiar with Rosetta stone, so I couldn't tell you how they differ. I'm currently working on an application similar to jboski, but more Web 2.0ish, and based on Robin Lee Powell's work on the camxes parser. It will try to offer integrated parsing and word lookup, and eventually possibly even lessons. It's called Lojgloss and written in C#. Source is available using Bazaar at http://pdf23ds.net/bzr. You can google all those others, I'm sure. Chris Capel -- "What is it like to be a bat? What is it like to bat a bee? What is it like to be a bee being batted?
