DimSum

HERE is a link to some very useful software for anyone wanting to learn Chinese. The DimSum Chinese reading assistant and dictionary allows you to cut and paste Chinese into it, then by moving the mouse pointer over the text DimSum translates it word by word into both English and pinyin. This is a great tool for reading Chinese web sites. One thing I realy like about DimSum is its ability to group the Chinese characters into words without having to try and work out the words from each individual characters yourself. This feature is especially useful when trying to read something like a Chinese news site.
