Ultralingua
Ultralingua Dictionaries is a multilingual reference software for macOS that combines translation dictionaries with language learning tools. It offers bidirectional dictionaries for language pairs including French-English, Spanish-English, German-English, Italian-English, Portuguese-English, and others, plus English and French monolingual dictionaries and thesauruses. The app includes features for verb conjugation across multiple languages, customizable flashcards for vocabulary drilling, a word-game helper mode, and a live-search function that matches any word form. Users can define and translate text in other applications via a customizable hotkey, and the interface is localized in multiple languages.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe search results available show Ultralingua Dictionaries version 7 from 2008, with no evidence of updates, native Apple Silicon support, or ongoing development from the vendor in the years since. The bundle ID and lack of recent release information suggest this project may be dormant or abandoned. If you rely on Ultralingua, contact the vendor directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build exists or is planned, since your current Intel-only installation will stop launching on macOS 28 when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in September 2028. As actively maintained alternatives with native Apple Silicon support, consider Linguee (web-based and native Mac app for translation lookup), Dict.cc (free web tool with offline capability), or Apple's built-in Dictionary and Translator apps in macOS Sequoia and later, which now include bilingual dictionaries and real-time translation. For serious language learners, Anki is a free, open-source flashcard tool that runs natively on Apple Silicon.
