How software helps in a multilingual world

With a family that spans multiple countries, languages and generations, communication isn’t always easy. However there are some great tools out there making it fundamentally easier to connect people, not only across distances but also bridging language barriers. While there are many services out there, one is quickly becoming my favorite! The http://www.microsofttranslator.com used both by Bing and also accessible from inside MS Word! 

Not only does it allow you to translate individual words and paragraphs, it also makes it super easy to translate whole Web pages. I just set up my personal blog so that my father with a simple click can follow me in Swedish (his favorite language).

Do like my father, check out my private blog at http://hakansoderbom.spaces.live.com and click on the link that says [här] near the top. This has obviously been set up to translate to Swedish but a good selection of languages are available.
