Pc Tips And Tricks

Sometimes the email that we receive may contain text in other languages. In one of the emails that I received there were words that contained English alphabets but in an unknown language. Inside the mail there was also a boquaet of flowers. After looking at the sender’s email it was confirmed that the mail was a SPAM. Though the obvious thing to do next was to delete the email, out of curiosity I wanted to know the contents of the email. So I copied the contents (by Ctrl + C) and went to www.freetranslation.com and translated into English.

Only then did I find out that the email was actually a Birthday greeting from one of my foreign friends in Russia. Luckily I did not delete it and was able to translate the email. If you face similar issues in translating text in other languages you can also use this free translation website as mentioned above.

Some search engines such as google and altavista has a link named ‘Translate this’ in the search results to translate into english the contents of a foreign lanuguage website.

These are some of the websites that allow you to freely translate. (Free translation tools)

1. Google, Altavista, Dictionary, Free Translation, Tmail and Systran are some of the websites that allow translation from many languages to many other languages.
2. www.systranssoft.com is a website that translates online. Goto the language translation page and key in the text or the URL to translate. Select the source language and select the destination language from the list. Then click on the ‘Translate’ button to translate into your desired language of selection.
3. Tmail (www.tmail.com) is another language translation website that translates emails in other languages. For example if you want to translate an email in French to English, then key in your email address in the To: column and in the CC: coloumn type fren@tmail.com. Then copy the french email into the body of the email and send it. You are sending the email to yourself and the fren@tmail.com means(fr-> french to en->english). The translated email will be sent to your email shortly. If you want to convert korean to english then the CC: will be kren@tmail.com and so on.
