Quick tip of the day

Online translation is more powerful than ever. Just type what you want in one language and Google instantly translates it into another language for free.

But how do you know if the Google translation is really what you meant to say, especially for important notes? It's not smart to rely on Google Translate without taking one extra step:

  • After you translate what you wanted to say into another language, save the text.
  • Open a new tab in your browser, paste the text and translate the foreign language text back into English. You might need to change a few words to get the translation just right.

🔍 Speaking of the tech giant, Google knows what you type, watch and say — unless you take these steps.

That's thanks to the beautiful technology called touchscreens. While they may already seem like magic, the way these devices work is more complex than you may think.
