Google Translate is a powerful tool which can be used to render entire websites - not just single pages of text - into Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Russian, Korean, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese or Greek.

Visit http://translate.google.com/, and in the "Translate a Webpage" field, enter the URL of the wesite you wish to translate, such as http://www.newtactics.org. Choose the language pairing you would like from the drop-down menu (for example, English to Spanish), and click "Translate".

The page will appear in your target language, and you can continue to navitage the website in your chosen language without returning to the Google Translate home page. Cool!! To see the original English text of a passage, float your cursor over the text and a "mouse-over" box will appear with the original text.

The tranlations are far from perfect, but Google's translation software is sophisticated and improving every day. This is a very powerful resource and I encourage you to give it a try, and to spread to the word to others who would like to have access to our resources and discussions but have trouble navigating our site in Englsh.

Try putting our most recent Featured Discussion, "Engaging the media in human rights", into the translator:

Enjoy!
