How to translate to English the proper way.

Hi, this blog is especially for people who don’t have English as their first language and have to translate their posts.

If you're like me, you might consider yourself bilingual; however chances are you will still have problems when writing even in Spanish because we are not always sure how some words are spell.

Initially I wrote a post in Word entirely in Spanish, use the translator of Google and the result I pasted in my website, but since translations are never perfect, I corrected it in the same post.

To troubleshoot spell problems I download a plug-in for spell correction, but it wasn’t very reliable and my site started to show some problems.
Finally I found the easiest way, though still more work than do those with English as their mother language.

The first two steps are preserved, I write the post in Spanish, I translate it in Google and here instead of simply copying it to the website I pasted to a new page in Word, with this the spell corrector is already in English, and there I work to improve the translation and once completed I get it to my website.

Believe it or not, this extra step has saved me a lot of time, and this can be done for any translation.

Also, I avoid giving a bad impression to the readers that come to my site, although some mistakes can still be found.

This is also recommended even for people with English as their mother language, Word will help you realize some typos you may have, and after that you just have to paste the output to your site.

I hope you have served this information.

Hi, Goli! But do you know how to access the post in english to change it manually? I have the plugin but the translation is just not correct. I would appreciate you very much!

really happy it can help you, let me know if you need something else :)

Well said Goli! The extra steps are a lot of trouble, I'm sure, but it's worth it. The end result is a much more readable post that leaves a better impression. And you are correct, even those of us whose mother tongue is English can benefit from some extra checking!
