Convey This: A Brilliant Easy to Install Web Translator

The World Wide Web – just where the hell would we be without it? We’d all most likely still be fascinated by ham radios. However, for all of its greatness the Internet has a major downfall in the very area it triumphs – worldwide access to one network. That means people in the US, India, France, Pakistan, Russia and the UK can all read this post and many others like it.

Convey This is a language translator aimed at blogs and company websites that overcomes the language barrier. It’s basically a small button with around a dozen flags and corresponding language names in a drop down menu below it. When you select you desired language from the list, the web page will be instantly translated using one of several popular web translators such as Google Translator

I think this is excellent and it could really increase international traffic to a blog or business site that is showing potential in far away lands. By giving people the option to read in their own language you may just be gaining a reader for life.

And it’s not hard to set up easier. The most novice blogger could have it set up on their site in a matter of minutes. The most complex aspect is entering the HTML code but most platforms such as Blogger allow you to copy and paste it into a widget anyway. Convey This is available here.

Internet Explorer Under Critisism…Again

IE8 logo

Have you ever downloaded a less than scrupulous piece of software only to discover the next day that you default browser has been changed and your homepage is some rubbish search engine based in North Korea? I have. So have thousands of others who were attracted by freeware never stopping to think of the scheming companies that lurked behind them. Such as Microsoft.

At the present, when users download IE8, the newest edition of Internet Explorer they will quite obviously have to install it. Now when you’re installing any piece of software you’re given a choice.

a)      Quick Install

b)      Custom install

In most cases the ‘Quick Install’ is already selected for you and most of us will go right on ahead and press ’Next’. Microsoft copped onto that so that when you install IE by choosing the quick install method your default browser and homepage are changed to please Bill Gates.

Microsoft recently came under fire about these practices you would expect from a smaller more desperate company. They responded by saying on their blog that they were making an update and that by August IE8 will ask your permission to become the default browser first.

“IE will never install, or become the default browser without your explicit consent. However, we heard a lot of feedback from a lot of different people and groups and decided to make the user choice of the default browser even more explicit,” Microsoft said.

IE8 has already been in the spotlight when they released the OMGIGP advertisement which Crenk covered here.
