Press Release Body: For the first time, understand and learn Chinese as fast as you
move your mouse. Today, Loqu8, Inc. launched iNterpret Version 3, an instant
Chinese-English translation tool for both casual users scanning Chinese websites and
serious students learning Mandarin Chinese.

Instant English Translations
Loqu8 iNterpret refines interactive Chinese-English translation. Instead of
requiring cumbersome keystrokes and mouse clicks, iNterpret simply translates text
as you glide your mouse. A pop-up window translates Chinese (Simplified or
Traditional) characters at your mouse pointer. Lookup words using Chinese, Pinyin or
English in the 60,000 word contemporary dictionary.

Power of Pronunciation
Learn how to speak Mandarin by listening to the words. From the same pop-up window,
choose Pronounce and iNterpret intonates the word or phrase in Standard Mandarin.
iNterpret embeds a text-to-speech engine to precisely pronounce the four tones of
Mandarin. An estimated 836 million people speak Mandarin Chinese around the world.


Learning Chinese in a Modern Context
Traditional language classes frequently focus on vocabulary lists. Students can
quickly become bored trying to memorize words without a proper context iNterpret
helps students learn and discover Chinese through immersion in popular websites. As
students come across unfamiliar words, the pop-up window provides a quick
description. For example Harbin is the capital of Heilongjiang province in northeast
China. From the pop-up translation window, students can search the web with BBC News
or Google Images. As students interact with web-based content, their interest
deepens and Chinese characters suddenly come to life-like never before.

Loqu8 iNterpret Version 3 is now available on www.loqu8.com. A free 15-day trial,
with full performance and functions, is available. The suggested retail price is $49
USD. Academic scholarships for students and discounts for schools are available.

Explorer. Windows XP SP2 and Windows Server 2008/2003 are also supported.
