Oh Translation...

While abroad you'll most likely find that many of the websites recommended to you are not in English. If you don't speak another language, this is obviously a problem. I would recommend adding this page to your toolbar or as one of your favorites. http://translate.google.com/translate_t?hl=en# . It's a translator that will convert any web page to English. The downside is that you have to hit translate every time you open up a new page. Although, I'm pretty sure that the benefits outweigh this because now you can actually read it! :)

Also, I included a small translation box at the bottom of this page for your convenience. While I highly recommend that you download the google translation tool and add it to your tool bar, it is extremely useful for translating straight text.

Travel Safe,

  1. Also, there is a common problem of your computer turning your webpages into their language automatically - for example my google sign-in for gmail is currently in Arabic GRRR!
