There is a lot of information on the internet, but most of the information needed is in a language you may not understand. This is where Google Translate comes in handy. You can use it to translate a small amount of text, or translate an entire website. You can even use it to bypass blocks on YouTube and other sites.
Step
Method 1 of 4: Translate Text

Step 1. Open the Google Translate site
You can access it at translate.google.com
Google Translate is not a perfect translator. Often the sentence structure is not translated properly, so it looks strange and incorrect in other languages. Google Translate should be used as a guide to understanding basic concepts about something, not as an accurate translation

Step 2. Copy the text you want to translate
You can copy them from a variety of sources, including documents and other websites. You can also type your own text.

Step 3. Paste or type the text you want to translate into the left column on the Google Translate page
If you want to type in a foreign language, look for a guide for typing foreign characters.

Step 4. Click the “Handwriting” button to draw the character
This button looks like a pencil at the bottom of the text field. This is especially useful for non-Latin writing.

Step 5. Select the language you want to translate if Google Translate doesn't automatically detect the correct language
You can click the "▼" button to see the available languages.

Step 6. Click the "Ä" button to display the text in Latin characters
This is especially important for non-Latin languages like Japanese or Arabic.

Step 7. Click the “Listen” button to hear how the text is spoken
This can also be useful for learning the correct pronunciation.

Step 8. Look at the translated text in the right column
Automatically, Google will translate into whatever your personal language is. You can select a different language by using the buttons at the top of the column.
If the translation does not occur automatically, click the "Translate" button

Step 9. Save the translation in a Phrasebook
A Phrasebook is a collection of translations that you have saved for future use. You can access your Phrasebook by clicking the Phrasebook button at the top of the right column.

Step 10. Click the "Listen" button at the bottom of the translation to hear the pronunciation

Step 11. Correct a translation if you see an error
Click the “Wrong?” button if you find an error. Make corrections and click the "Contribute" button, and the results of your corrections will be applied in Google Translate.
Method 2 of 4: Translate Website

Step 1. Open the Google Translate site
You can access it at translate.google.com

Step 2. Copy the entire URL of the website you want to translate
The URL is the address of the site, and can be found in the address bar. Make sure you copy in its entirety.

Step 3. Paste the URL in the left column of Google Translate

Step 4. Select the language the website uses from the buttons at the top
Google Translate doesn't always automatically detect the language of a website, so choose the language manually. You can see all available languages by clicking the "▼" button.

Step 5. Choose what language you want to translate the page into
Automatically, Google will translate into whatever your personal language is. You can select another language by using the buttons at the top of the column.

Step 6. Click the link in the right column to open the translated page
Google Translate will try to translate the text on the page, but not everything can be translated, including the text in images.

Step 7. Change the translation target language by using the button at the top of the page
You can translate into any language that Google Translate has.

Step 8. Click the "Original" button to switch to the home page
You can use this to quickly switch back and forth.
Method 3 of 4: Using Mobile Apps

Step 1. Download the Google Translate app
You can download it for free from the app store of your mobile device.

Step 2. Decide how you want to enter the text
You can enter something to translate in a variety of ways:
- Typing – Touch a field to type the text you want to translate. You'll see the translation appear as you type.
- Camera – Tap the Camera button to take a photo of the text you want to translate. Google Translate will attempt to scan the text and translate it, so make sure you hold your camera steady.
- Speak – Tap the microphone button to speak the phrase you want to translate.
- Handwriting – Tap the Squiggly Line button to draw a character with your finger. This is useful for non-Latin characters.

Step 3. Accept a translation
After entering the text you want to translate, you will see the results. Tap the "→" button to load the translation on the main screen. You'll see the Latin characters if they're legible, then you can tap the star to add the translation to your Phrasebook.
A Dictionary card will also appear for most phrases
Method 4 of 4: Bypass Blocking on YouTube

Step 1. Open the Google Translate website
You can access it at translate.google.com
The Google Translate site opens YouTube from within Google Translate, which allows you to access blocked YouTube. This can also apply to other sites that are blocked, but whose connections are not secure

Step 2. Paste the URL of the Youtube video you want to view in the left column

Step 3. Select any language from the list of available languages “except “Detect language”. If you select "Detect language", the video will not load.

Step 4. Select a different language in the right hand column
The language you choose will have absolutely no effect on the video, but choosing the same language as you did in the previous step will result in an error.

Step 5. Click the link in the right column to load the video
The video comments may be in the wrong language, but the video is fine.
