Actually, if you tap on the line under "Tranlate Word" which shows the from-to languages you get a drop-down with the following choices:
english-french
english-deutsch
english-italiano
english-espanol
francais-english
deutsch-english
italiano-english
espanol-english
(sorry no accents in the foreign languages, too lazy to add them
If you select a word on the page you are reading you can translate to different languages just by touching the from-to line again.
