Photography offers a universal language to the world.  But, sometimes additional communication or explanation is necessary.  I speak English or my mid-western United States version of it.  I know a little Spanish and Chinese, but don’t expect a conversation out of me.  

Obviously, this leaves me at a disadvantage when trying to expand my borders of knowledge. It’s a big world; the big world, once again, is getting smaller thanks to Google Translate. 

Google translate is designed to translate text written for most any blog or web site.  This tool offers many advantages.  One, you are able to read numerous web sites full of valuable content from around the world, previously unavailable .  Two, a photographer or any web site owner may offer translated versions of their web site in languages such as Spanish, Arabic, French, German, Dutch, Russian, Filipino and Chinese to name a few.   

Consider the possibilities available to the new media photographer who wishes to travel the world, attract new friends, opportunities and clients. How good are the translations?  Honestly, I have no way to confirm the quality. All I can do is offer the name behind them, Google.

Below are translations of this page.  If you can read any of these languages feel free to comment with a few thoughts of your own.
