Foreign Language Translation

if you need a simple language translation while on the go, use your Translation widget. If it's not in your Dashboard already, you can put it there: Click the Dashboard icon in the Dock, then click the plus symbol in the bottom corner of your screen to show all of your widgets. Click the "Translation" widget to put it on your Dashboard.

Choose the language you want to translate from and the language you want to translate into. Type a word or phrase in English to see it in the selected language. The translations are sometimes inaccurate, so be careful!

Another free translation solution is provided by Google. On Google's home page, click the "more" link. On the page that opens, click "translate." Or go straight to Google.com/language_tools.

In the "Language Tools" window that opens, type the word or phrase you need translated (shown below-left), then from the pop-up menu choose the language you want to use for the translation.
