Multi-lingual Browsers & Translators
Many telecommunications requests are posted for learning about environments and culture in other countries...
Many telecommunications requests are posted for learning about environments and culture in other countries. The good news is that most modern browsers will display web pages and e-mail in their native language -- sometimes with a little help from you. You can also access web sites that will translate web pages and text from one language to another.
Most modern web browsers can now correctly display foreign language web pages. However, the Netscape and Mozilla browsers can also display non-English menus and dialogs. Very useful for getting your ESL students "plugged in" and providing them a link back.
Alan Wood’s Unicode Resources includes a list of multilingual capable Web Browsers available for different computer platforms (PC, MAC, Linux, etc.), and instructions on how to configure them. Alan's site has details -- sometimes technical -- on how different character sets are displayed, and on how to create multi-lingual web pages.
AltaVista's BableFish, FreeTranslation, and now Google all provide free text and web page translations from a number of languages. Useful when that important e-mail or web page is not in your language.

Alan Wood’s Unicode Resources
http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/
Click on the "Browsers" link for a list of multilingual capable browsers.
FreeTranslation
http://www.freetranslation.com/
Provides both free, automated and low cost, non-automated (human) translations.
Google Language Tools
http://www.google.com/language_tools
also provides links to the 85+ country specific Google sites
Irrespective of the policy about bilingual education in your district, these tools would help bilingual parents understand the power of this new telecommunications technology.
You can also use these tools to expose your students to other cultures and languages.
