Woo..Haa..Ha..Ha..Haah!  Did I scare you?  Probably not since there are far more scary things going on in the market right now anyway.  Today's TechTuesday I'm going to teach you how to speak in Tounges. Well Actually I'm going to show you a bunch of tools to help you translate stuff and learn to speak other languages.

Translation

Have you ever received a message like this "удовлетворить вашу женщину с большими мужчина сока"?  Do you want to know what is says?  You will need to translate it.  You have a couple of options to do this.  You could just learn every possible language and hope this one is one you know...or you could translate it online.
There are several online translation sites to choose from.  Here are two of the big ones.  Of course by know you have figured out that one of my favorite sites is Google.  As luck would have it Google has a translation program for you.  You get to select the current language and can translate it into over 30 different languages.

If Google make you feel like a fish out of water then try BabelFish.  This is Yahoo's translation program.  It can be a bit quicker because you have only one pull down menu for translation options.  The short fall is there are not as many translation options.

Both give you the ability to translate whole web pages, just copy the URL and paste it in the translator.  Remember these are literal translations.  If you are trying to reach an audience of native speakers with your message, I suggest you look at other options like Systran Business Translator unless sounding like a 1st grader works for your marketing.

Speaking

So the words aren't good enough.  You actually want to be able to make sounds come out of your mouth in the hopes that someone at the local McDonalds will understand you.  You know what they say...If you at least 3 languages you are Worldly, 2 languages you are smart and one language..."Your American".  So lean to order your Big Mac in three languages.

To get a jump on learning a language the best resource is a leap across the pond. The BBC has set up a wonderful robust site that can help you learn to speak several different languages.  They even send you homework via email.  If you just want a quick fix language phrase book, they have that too.

For a more advanced lesson you can join Rosetta Stone or a more economical option like
TELL ME MORE Language Software  or Transparent Language .  If you just want Spanish try   The best way of course is to emerse yourself in the culture so go on a trip.

Ever feel like you voice didn't match you personality.  Or maybe your an Old man surfing the internet posing as a teenage girl for the next John Stossel Sting.  Well any way do we have a program for you.  The Screaming Bee MorphVOX Voice Changer.  With its pitch changer you can sound like  a Munchkin or Issac Hayes, you decide.

USS EnterpriseTired of searching Google in English? Try searching in Pirate.  That's right matey, you can have your searches swingin' frum the gallows.  You can even search for Captain Kirk in "Klingon" or that screwy rabbit in "Elmer Fudd".  Sign in to your Gmail account and log in to your preferences.  You can even choose from a bunch of Real languages too.

Nate- Thanks for the tips, they made me laugh at points. babelfish will also translate entire web pages into English for you. It's come in handy a few times. Thanks for the post!
