The program can be gotten from: http://www.software-partners.co.uk/ (http://www.software-partners.co.uk/) and selecting 'Latin Translation.' Interestingly enough, the software company wrote me to give me my registration number, and then added:
"I am looking into the marketing of this product and if you have time could you possibly let me know why you are buying it? I hope you don't mind me asking, I would be very interested to know. BlitzLatin is unusual because we have hundreds of copies downloaded every month and (sadly) nothing like this volume of sales, and I'm trying to understand this discrepancy."
So I told him that it claims to translate Latin, and there are tons of students who want that, but that it's actually only really useful if you already know Latin. And most people who really know Latin and use it and would find the program useful, are, honestly, kinda technophobes (or at least not technophiles like me).
