Did you ever wish you could read Japanese, Spanish, Arabic, Turkish, Hindi, Chinese, Korean, Russian - or English (for non-English speakers) No need to learn all those languages. You can use the internet to translate texts for you in seconds. If you want to see what is written in "Asahi Shimbun", just find the newspaper on the internet, select the article and copy and paste it in the translation space. Select the language FROM which you would like to have it translated (in this case, Japanese) and the language INTO which it should be translated (say, English) and click "translate". You can go from Greek to Chinese at the click of a mouse.
Warning/caveat: the translations may be clumsy and may not be entirely accurate - but generally good enough to get the gist of the text.
Second warning: this is fun, but is highly addictive!
Enjoy and be informed. CG
