Read Internet in your Native Language

I believe language to be one of the major reasons people feel constrained exposing themselves to new ideas. They don’t read or explore their ideas because most of the content to deep dive in is not available in their local languages or the ones they know.

So, In this article I wanted to share a nifty way to convert any article to your native language.

To follow this you will need a smart phone and Chrome browser installed.

  1. On your Android phone or tablet, open the Chrome app.
