Pinsight University Automatic Translation
(Applicable users: assessors)
Overview
The Pinsight® team has been hard at work redesigning your Pinsight University lessons so that they can be translated into the language you’re most comfortable using using Google Chrome’s auto-translate feature. The instructions in this article will help you both convert the Pinsight University site language into your respective language and aid you in setting up the Google Chrome browser so that you can auto-translate lesson pages with the click of your mouse.

Step 2 – Set up Google Chrome to Translate with a Right-Click

Note that only text, not graphics or videos will translate. You will need to right-click and select translate on each page as you navigate through the lesson. The auto-translation is powered by the Google Translate application, so it may contain language errors.
