Google Translate Offline: ¡Es fantástico!

 

Google Translate can be downloaded onto your phone so that you can use it even without an internet or cellular connection. Muy genial!

 

There are 59 languages available to download. And 32 of those languages can be used (if you have a cellular or wifi connection) for two-way instant speech translation. Seriously! Speak into your phone, in English – and have the phone translate (and speak!) whatever you said to your taxi driver or waiter or friend.

 

AND if that’s not enough – when you do have a cellular or wifi connection, you can take a picture of any one of 38 foreign-language sign with your phone – and have Google translate it into English instantly!

GOOGLE: Making Sure You’re Looking at Organic Search Results

Google has been getting sneaky. Have you noticed when you do a search the results that appear do not visually distinguish (much, if at all) the difference between a paid ad (related to your query) and actual organic (real) search results?

 

As a “user” I find this annoying. When I’m searching for “smoky eyes” I don’t want ads to buy the eye shadow – I just want to know how to do it. So I automatically figure I need to skip the first few results – but how many? Like I said, they don’t look any different than the organic search results.
