    Next, you’ll need to head to where all your other Chrome extensions are stored. Click on the puzzle icon in the upper banner of your Chromium-based browser, and you should see a list of all the extensions you’ve added thus far, as well as the permissions they each require. Click on Google Translate, and the utility will open a pop-up over the current web page.

  3. Translate the page or a section

    In the pop-up, you should see a text box wherein you can place text that you’d like to translate. Just underneath the text box is Translate this Page. This refers to whichever webpage you are currently viewing. In my case, I’ve chosen to go to SEAT’s Spanish webpage, seeing as the vehicle brand is a Spanish company. As soon as I click on Translate this page, the language that the page is displayed in changes to the language of my Google account.

    Mine is set to English, but if it had been set to German, that’s the language the page would automatically translate to German. You can also change the language that the webpage displays in by heading to the Google Translate banner and hitting the downward arrow next to the current language.

I hail from the awe-inspiring beauty of South Africa. Born and raised in Pretoria, I've always had a deep interest in local history, particularly conflicts, architecture, and our country's rich past of being a plaything for European aristocracy. 'Tis an attempt at humor. My interest in history has since translated into hours at a time researching everything from the many reasons the Titanic sank (really, it's a wonder she ever left Belfast) to why Minecraft is such a feat of human technological accomplishment. I am an avid video gamer (Sims 4 definitely counts as video gaming, I checked) and particularly enjoy playing the part of a relatively benign overlord in Minecraft. I enjoy the diverse experiences gaming offers the player. Within the space of a few hours, a player can go from having a career as an interior decorator in Sims, to training as an archer under Niruin in Skyrim. I believe video games have so much more to teach humanity about community, kindness, and loyalty, and I enjoy the opportunity to bring concepts of the like into literary pieces.
