Aside from translating, I can use Google Translate to type in Japanese, Chinese, or other non-Latin-based characters. No need for system capability in your operating system (Windows or Mac). But more importantly, I use Google Translate to listen to the correct pronunciation of phrases in foreign languages. Like, copy this text, and paste inside Google Translate, select "Japanese" in the "from" language, then click the small speaker icon on the lower right of the text box:
こんにちは！ロンジドットコムです。あなたとはじめまして。よろしくお願いします。
One part there is supposed to say "RONJIE.COM," but if you translate to English, well RONJIE is just not in the dictionary just yet. Instead, it interprets it as some funny word.
Anyway, I learned this from Adam Port (Musician/Band) on Facebook, through my friend VC. Copy this text:
pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk bschk pv bschk bschk pv kkkkkkkkkk bschk bschk bschk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk bschk pv bschk bschk pv kkkkkkkkkk bschk bschk bschk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk bschk pv bschk bschk pv kkkkkkkkkk bschk bschk bschk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk bschk pv bschk bschk pv kkkkkkkkkk bschk bschk bschk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk bschk pv bschk bschk pv kkkkkkkkkk bschk bschk bschk
Paste it inside Google Translate. Pick German as the 'from' language. Then, press the 'Listen' (speaker icon) button.
Cool, right? Now how about being creative with Google Translate yourself?
