Having trouble translating things? I’m sure you’re aware of some really good online translators, such as Yahoo’s BableFish, World Lingo and Free-Translator. It’s no problem to copy and paste a word or phrase, or even whole paragraphs, to translate from one language to another. But what happens when you run across a Website that you think is exactly what you’re looking for but it’s entirely in Spanish (or French or German)? Sometimes there are those little flags up in the right hand corner (English is usually a British flag), but sometimes there isn’t. What to do?
Google to the rescue. Go to translate.google.com/ and you can not only type or paste that word, phrase or paragraph, but you can type in (or paste) the URL from a website and it will reload that website IN ENGLISH (or whatever you want). I don’t have to tell you that this is REALLY useful.
And that’s not all it does. You can upload an entire document and it will translate it for you. Wow. Try it out. And let us know how it does.
