Blog Update: Now available in French!

All blog posts can now be viewed in French! It’s extremely easy to switch back and forth from French posts to English posts. Here’s how:

How to view blog posts in French:
On the right panel, located at the top, is a Translate option. Click the arrow next to “Select Language” and select French. From then on, the content of the blog will be displayed in French. 

 
To stop viewing posts in French:
At the top of the page there is a tab that says: “Translated to: French.” Click the button next to it that says: “Show original” to view the blog in English. Or, click the X on the right side of that tab. The blog content will then go back to its default English setting.



There’s also an easy and convenient way to view and comprehend the French posts without having to switch back and forth from French to English– when viewing a blog post in French, hovering your mouse over any sentence will provide the English translation from the original post, while highlighting the sentence that you’re currently viewing. 

Disclaimer:
The translation between the two languages may not be perfect. Often times, translation engines produce inaccurate translations and cannot be relied on for 100% precision. Online translators are most used for quick vocabulary translation, like a one-word translation. Translating large amounts of text may result in grammatical errors and inaccurate translations.

Here is a funny example of what can happen when relying on online translation engines.

Enjoy!
