Quick Tutorial: Read Blogs in other Languages

Have you found a really cool blog that you want to read but you can’t because it is in another language? It happens really frequently but I don’t stop myself at that point! I use tools to make it more accessible:

This is a good, quick and useful way to read pages in another languages:

1. Keep the website that you want to read open.

2. Copy the URL using < Ctrl + C>

3. go to http://translate.google.com

4. Paste the address of the website that you want to read or URL

5. Chose the languages that you want to use.

6. Start Reading !!!! Cool

The blog that appear in this post is a  blog in Portuguese that I use in this past post:
