The Microsoft Captions Language Interface Pack (CLIP) is a simple language translation solution that uses tooltip captions to display results. Use CLIP as a language aid, to see translations in your own dialect, update results in your own native tongue or use it as a learning tool.

CLIP is designed to enable and support indigenous languages and native dialects and is the result of the close collaboration between Microsoft and local communities. Users will be able to download multiple languages, switching target translations quickly and easily.

To use, simply move your mouse around the screen and halt briefly over any text you want translated. Users can also add their own translations and copy and paste any results.

• Microsoft Captions Language Interface Pack Add-in: Code Cultures

  This download is an accompaniment to the Microsoft Captions Language Interface Pack (CLIP) in the event that your operating system does not provide a Microsoft CLIP code culture. Code cultures contain information such as time & date formats, the default currency symbol, preferred keyboard types etc.
  
  Note: there is no need to install this code culture unless you were prompted to do so during the installation of Microsoft CLIP.
