I remember my first Market America Convention quite vividly – and I think about it often. I felt so inspired and energized – I would be hard pressed to forget what an awesome experience it was! I think about that first convention frequently – mostly because that’s when the spirit of Market America family really clicked for me. I was truly struck by the incredible amount of diversity amongst our Independent Shop Consultants and UnFranchise® Owners – on all levels – age, interests, ethnicity, geographically and more. To me, it’s a true testament to an organization when folks from all walks of life can come together to build a team and work together to find success.
When I read the article Google Translate Draws More Than 200 Million Users Each Month on Mashable last week, I immediately thought back to my first convention, the high level of diversity and wondered: “How many of our UnFranchise Owners and Independent Shop Consultants utilize a tool like Google Translate to expand their reach?” In social media, I use Google Translate on a regular basis. People from around the globe join our online conversations and it is key to have an effective and comprehensive translation tool at our fingertips.
If you haven’t utilized Google Translate, it’s growing by leaps and bounds. And, if you think about it – this may be one of the most powerful internet-based tools we have, allowing people from nearly anywhere to communicate and share information.

Can we use this on the portal and mini- sites? How?
You know – that’s an excellent question. You can certainly use Google Translate to translate a phrase and copy and paste that translation into your portal and mini-sites if you are messaging someone specifically. Can you be more specific about how you’d like to use it in your portal or mini site?
I have a friendship of people that speaks many languages. They be speaking too me, before Google Translate, I just couldn’t understand what they was saying to me, Thank you so much Google Translate, because today, I understand the messages:)
I am so glad to hear you are an avid user of this incredible tool. I use Google Translate all the time – I’d be lost without it!
What’s amazing is not only is Google Translate online (translate.google.com), but the smart phone application is incredible. You can write a word or phrase and it will not only translate in text but also in audio!
Android users just need to search for Google Translate. For those with the iPhone simply download the Google application.
That is a great point, Jason! I think that should be my next article topic – Google Translate for smartphone. Thank you!
