Searching for the right information online is a little bit challenging. There are browsers that can easily lag because of additional resources required but they are not related to your search. This problem is now catered by a simple application called zAngA. This application allows users to quick search for websites online as well as translation of the highlighted words.

Using the application is very easy. The application is a desktop software and it is installed in the system tray. The word that needs to be translated can simply be dragged to the application. The word will be immediately translated and displayed on the interface of the application. This function in the application can be customized based on the language needed by user. Because the application uses the internet as its source of information, the options for languages are basically unlimited.

Aside from being an efficient translator, the application can also be used as a search tool. Phrases can be dragged in the application and the search results will be immediately displayed. The websites recommended in the search results can be easily launched in the default browser because hot keys are added in the function in order to open the recommended website.
