Text Translation Made Easy with the Google Translation Tool

There are certain instances in which documents, web-pages and other forms of text need to be translated into another language. With the help of Google Translate, Internet users can have multiple documents translated into over 50 different languages.

By going to http://translate.google.com., users can simply type a phrase into the box located near the top of the page and then have it translated by choosing the drop down options below it. Even if the user doesn’t know the language of the specific phrase, choosing “detect language” in the drop down box will help find the correct language.  Dictionary results appear for short query results and appear near the bottom of the page.

When translating to a language that contains symbols or is considered non-roman script, a drop down box options does include a show Romanization link. For example, if you are translating a phrase from English to Chinese (which is a non-roman script language), click on the “show Romanization” option in the middle of the page to see the roman script version of that phrase.

For those looking to translate from Arabic, Hindi or Persian, a specific keyword is no longer needed. By simply typing in how the words sound phonetically, Google Translate will automatically transcribe them to their native language.

To translate an entire web-site, simply type in the domain name in the translate box and click enter. For example, if you wanted to translate the Cleveland Cavaliers web-site from English to Hungarian, typing in www.clevelandcavaliers.com and selecting an English to Hungarian translation will translate the web-site content.
