v3.3 is the current version. It costs $4.99 at the dev site. It costs $9.99 at the Mac App Store. There's a downloadable free trial at the dev site, but it requires an email address with the requirement of opting into marketing spew.

Translate Tamil word to English. In Linguistic the word is not translated instead spells the word in English( English to Tamil -vise versa) if you don’t get what I mean and better understanding, Do a comparison of word translated by Linguistic and google.to see the difference.
