Translating Words on Firefox "on fly"

One advantage that Firefox brings with it it's the possibility of extending its functionality by using what is call add-on, a software component that added to your navigator will improve it a lot and help you many times.

In this occasion let me show how gTranslate can give you a hand to translate those words that you don't know what they mean, without the need of visiting a specific web to accomplish this task.

The first step is installing this add-on, this is very easy so just follow the link given in the earlier paragraph. If you have just already done this then it's time to use it, for this example I will translate an English text to Spanish so let's select the text.

 
Select text to translate

At this point you need to right-click on the remarked text to display the gTranslate menu.


Right-click on the text

 
In this menu you will see the gTranslate icon with the phrase to be translated, just move the pointer over this and you will get the translation of this text, all this is possible because it connects directly to Google translator.

Select the option to translate

If you consider the add-on used another language for the translation, then you can select it manually by moving the mouse over "Change Languages" option to get an accurate result.
 
Select the languages to work with

Thanks to this tool I do not waste time opening a translation web and copying the text in it.

Image
If you don't know, Lotus Notes is an email client used in a lot of companies around the world.

As you can image, I did this example on a Spanish version of Lotus Notes 8.5 but I will explain it clearly enough. The first step is getting yourself into the inbox, then select the "Create" menu item and inside of it, click on "Agent...". You will get a dialog box opened, in this we have the possibility of setting the rules for this agent. However, in this case we will only set "Trigger" option to "On schedule" with the "Weekly" frequency. Don't forget to push the "Schedule..." button to program the agent in the right way. After this, select "OK" and close the dialog bo...

Turn Horizontal Visio Swimlanes into Vertical Ones

Image
In one ocassion, a friend at work called me because she had a problem with Microsoft Visio , she was trying to draw a process flowchat but using swimlanes, this was not a problem until she realized that it would be better to use vertical swimlanes instead of horizontal ones.    But, when she tried to drag a vertical one it just put together to the previous swimlanes created before.  To avoid creating a new visio document and lost your work just go to 'Cross-Functional Flowchart' ribbon and select 'Orientation' and 'Vertical'.     And it's done, now you can work with vertical swimlanes or if you like it you can turn them back to horizontal ones.
