With the internet, the whole world is at your fingertips, but what do you do when you need to access sites or information in an unfamiliar language? There are apps for that! This lecture will introduce digital translation tools and apps, such as Google Translate. You’ll learn about tools that can automatically translate the websites you visit, apps that can translate live conversations, and more. We’ll also discuss the pros and cons of these tools and the situations in which they may be the most helpful.
