Posted topics translated to English?
« on: January 21, 2013, 02:48:46 PM »
When looking through searches and posted topics I notice many written in languages I can't read.  Is there a way to get these translated in to English so I can read them?  I'm sure these members have something of import to say, but if I can't read these posts they do me no good.

I use the 'Translate This!' Firefox extension. It works great.

This forum asks in the profile which language, what's the purpose if it's not for translating?  I'm not aware of any other forums I visit that have this issue.  I'll try the translate this add-on.  Thanks.

I tried both ways without much success, one way says the page is already in english, the other way gave me no place to copy to.  I will have to play with this some more.

As Just17 mentioned, try going to

http://translate.google.com/

and you should see a page similar to the following



You can then copy/paste from language A to language B
PCLinuxOS 32bit KDE 4.10.1; kernel-3.4.11-pclos1.bfs & 64bit 3.2.18bfs; NVidia GeForce 8400GS 1GB 310.19 driver
