#TechTipTuesday - Translate an entire Website to any language

I love learning new things, and today I discovered that there is a way to translate an entire website from one language to the another, all in less than 3 steps!

Step 1. Navigate yourself to translate.google.com

Step 2. In the left hand window enter in the url of the webpage you want to translate

(make sure you include the http:// in the url name)

Step 3. Choose the language you'd like the webpage to be transferred into and press translate.

The entire page will then be translated before your eyes to the chosen language.

For all my visual learners, check out the screen shots below to see:

Step 1. translate.google.com 

Step 2. add your URL

Step 3. Press translate

Happy Translating.
