A little help with English language

None of us has English as his native language, and for someone this is such a big problem to prevent them from posting, commenting and even reading these pages. So here is my little help about this.

[Hmm… of course in English language 😐 ]

1– Use the Firefox browser with spell-checking incorporated.

Firefox automatically checks the spelling of words that you enter in text boxes containing more than one line. As soon as you finish typing a word, it is checked against the words in the installed dictionary. If the word is not found in the dictionary, it will be underlined in red

To use the English spell-checker, you have to add the English dictionary to Firefox: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using%20the%20spell%20checker#w_adding-dictionaries

This will help you a lot!

2– I also frequently use Google Translate when I forget a word translation or just to check what I wrote: http://translate.google.fr/?hl=fr&tab=wT#fr|en

If instead of text you paste a URL into the field, Google Translate will give you back a transated version of the site (Beware: magic link! http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=en&tl=ja&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lameclan.tk%2F)

    Tnx Biondo. I use Google Chrome after being tired of some down-time with Firefox (updates of my add-ons made my PC very slow for surfing). I’m very happy with chrome, although it don’t come with that much add-ons.

    accidentally, I was thinking of making the same topic, but to give a little hint for those who use Chrome.
    If you are filling in a field, like this, and writing English, Chrome underlines words that are wrong spelled. While pushing Right Mouse button on an underlined word, choosing ‘Language: English’, you get a check by Chrome to see if that word is right spelled in English. If the word is still underlined, click again right, and see correct English options. In a few seconds, you clear a text from typing errors like you would use Word or any other text-editor.

    We all exist in a multilingual world, so using online translators must be easy as possible. I recommend using translating addons for firefox, like QuickTranslator or babelfish, which enable translation from any language just in one or 2 clicks. Myself, as mainly using and switching equally between English, Hebrew and Russian I always have one of those addons installed on my browser. If I need more deep and detailed dictionary, than that one, provided by Google, I always have some installed as search engines in upper right corner, where’s google search field situated.

    I’ll never forget the epic scene I witnessed at Barcelona Aquarium cashier desk, where was a big Catalonian family, and they asked me something, I answered them, that I only speak English, so they all looked at young girl, who was supposed to know English, but suddenly she couldn’t speak a word, so her mother got really angry, shouted and slapped her! At this point I was really disappointed, that I don’t know Spanish, so I could avoid this conflict. And I told you this story just to explain, how important the language knowledge is!
