Google Translator

As you have discovered, Google Translator can translate from one language to another. But, did you know, that Google Translator can translate an entire web page into another language? Try it out. Go to http://translate.google.com/. Type the URL of the website you would like to translate. Select the language to translate from and then the language to translate too. Click the link for the site and voila…the entire site is translated. Here is my example using the Bellevue Public Schools Website. This would be great to use for ESL students! They could read a site in their native language. Parents would be able to have your blog, website, or even documents translated for them in a click of a button! Yes…the price is right…FREE!
