    2.0 out of 5 stars Why must I pay extra for a common language like GERMAN?, 12 Jan 2007
    By Fred "Gouged by Microsoft" - Published on Amazon.com
    This review is from: Office Proofing Tools 2003 (CD-ROM)
    If languages like Spanish and French are included in the STANDARD MS Word dictionary, a common language like GERMAN should be included as well. Why do I have to pay extra ($79.95 LIST) for an overly comprehensive dictionary that includes every obscure language, script, and dialect in the world to get a single common language like German? This sems discriminatory!

    Overall MS "Proofing Tools" seems to be a good package, but I feel GOUGED at what I have to pay to get a single additional COMMON language. It would be better if only English was standard in MS Word and if, with each Word license, a buyer could get a free download of one or two common languages of the buyer's choice.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Tool for Foreign-Language Word Processing, 29 Aug 2005
    By Daniel Graham - Published on Amazon.com
    This review is from: Office Proofing Tools 2003 (CD-ROM)
    This software adds some very useful foreign-language proofing tools to MS Office. I use it for Korean and am very happy with it.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Huh? I give it a 5 for DO NOT BUY! for Arabic, at least., 23 Dec 2005
    By East and Central Asian Linguist - Published on Amazon.com
    This review is from: Office Proofing Tools 2003 (CD-ROM)
    This is not a great product for Arabic. Microsoft brags that its "Translation Dictionary" for Arabic, included in the software, includes a database of 450,000 words culled from all the major dictionaries out there. But if you try to enter in a semantic grouping of two or more words, such as a verb plus a preposition, you usually get "no entry found." This problem also applies to words that are inflected in any way. Also, the voweling is not included. No voweling , inflections, or verbal phrases!?! DO NOT BUY THIS for Arabic, EVEN if it is your only choice....I am bilingual in Chinese. In all fairness, the conversion tools for characters are useful, but as for the dictionary, the Taiwanese Ministry of Education, Dr. Eye and Jinshanci offer FREE dictionaries that are more useful than this costly one by Microsoft. If you are from Microsoft: 1) please give us a browsable dictionary, 2) include the Arabic vowelling! 3) fire your current Arabists and hire someone better! I feel cheated! For Arabic I wish I could give this an even lower rating. For Chinese and Korean it probably deserves a positive 3 or 4, not higher because there are free or less expensive products that contain many of this products' features and are of better quality. If you are going to charge us $70, make the product good, please. Consumers: BE WARNED!
