How do I translate a message.

[Frances McLeary]

how do I use the 'tranlate this site' option for a comment on my photo from a non-english member?

Hi Frances, I am not sure if what I do is the easiest way, and perhaps someone else will offer a simpler alternative.  But, I usually open another blank webpage, and go to my bookmarked Google Translate, ie http://translate.google.com/#en|es|  keeping my SF webpage open.  I then click back into the SF page, left click and highlight the text I want to translate, right click, select copy.  Then, go over into the other webpage, and in the box, left click to activate the bleeping cursor, right click, select paste.  Your comment will appear, and you will have the option at the top to choose the language and translate it into English.  You can use it in the opposite way if you wish to comment to one of the ladies who doesn't speak English, and your comment will appear under her photograph in her language [given you work out which language it is...........LOL......not too hard usually].  Hope this helps, Cheers.

I translate by first translating to the language they are speaking and then translate to English it works for me every time.

What a brilliant tip, I have been cutting and pasting comments into translating software, this is so much easier.
