The World Wide Web is a great tool for finding information and connecting with other people across the globe. The problem is, not everyone in the world uses English, so you may come across pages written in Chinese, Spanish or any number of other languages used around the world on a daily basis. To access these sites, all you need is a translation tool, which can be installed as an add-on to your Internet Explorer browser.
