Computer Tip of the Week

Greetings!
FREE Translations
Try it, you'll like it!
Have you ever wished there was a quick way to translate text from another language into English? Well, there is. The Internet is full of wonderful treasures and FreeTranslation.com is one of them. Let's pretend that you received a message in Spanish from a long-lost friend. You don't have anyone to translate it for you, so you copy the text from the message, go to FreeTranslation.com, paste the text into the box on the right, and click Free Translation. Of course you will want to make sure that the language choices at the top of the box are correct, i.e., Spanish to English. It won't be a letter-perfect translation, but you'll get the general idea of what the message says. What will they think of next? Remember, instructions for copying and pasting are on page 80 of my book, Taming Your Computer -- The Simple Basics and Beyond.
Don't forget to order your copies of Taming Your Computer -- The Simple Basics and Beyond before the end of May to receive FREE SHIPPING. By the way, have you checked out the glossary at the back of the book? It's a great resource for all those techie-terms you hear your grandkids using.
Have a wonderful week!

About Me

My photo
I love teaching senior citizens to use computers. I'm a senior myself, so I'm working with my peers. When I work with you in your home on your computer, I don't sit in front of your computer and TELL you want to do. You sit in front of your computer while I TEACH you what to do. I also write step-by-step instructions for you to follow when I'm not there.
