It is all Greek to me?

Have you ever struggled to read websites in a language that you do not speak?  I often find myself doing research for a trip and looking up local events on a website I cannot read.  Good news there is a quick and easy solution!  Many of you may already use this but past weekend I was talking with a friend who was not aware of this trick so I thought I would share it.

Thank goodness for Chrome translate option for your browser.  You simply complete the setup then every time you visit a website that is not in a language that you are familiar with it will ask if you want it to be translated.  It actually will save your preferences.

Check out the cute little YouTube video in the link and you will be reading Japanese websites today.   Please keep in mind that not everything will translate perfectly but it will most likely get you 90% of the way there.

Bon voyage.  Gute reise. Ασφαλή ταξίδια. Viaggi sicuri. 안전한 여행  Säkra resor. 
Bezpečné cesty. Teithiau diogel. आशा है आपकी यात्रा सुखद हो

Or as they say in English ” Safe Travels”.  For the first person to identify all of the languages above without utilizing a translator I have a prize for you.

Seek your adventure!

    I don’t know all of those languages, but here is my attempt .. .1 = French; 2 = German; 3 = Greek; 4 = Italian; 5 = Korean; 6 I don’t know, but maybe Hungarian or Albanian? ; 7 looks like Czech, but not positive; 8 I have no idea; 9 = Hindi. Am I close?
