A couple of days ago, I mentioned that EBSCO had a translation feature but it had not been activated. GALILEO has a 'Contact Us' link in the upper right side of the screen. Within 24 hours of contacting GALILEO, the translation features had been turned on in EBSCO.
There are two translation options. One translates the interface. That option is at the top of the screen to the right under Languages. It does not list Greek (as far as I can tell), even though Greek is listed in the Help section as one of the languages for the interface.
After you find the article and open it, scroll below the abstract and article details to a drop down translate box. That list does offer Greek as an option.
EBSCO translates articles in the databases I spot checked- Academic Search, Student Research Center, Regional News, and Primary Search. The interface can be translated in Books but not the content. Neither interface nor content seem translatable in NoveList.
The translate option is good for students (of any age) and immigrants! My guess is the translation may not be grammatically perfect but it's close enough. Language teachers might find the translate option handy for classwork or homework assignments.
Get the GALILEO password from your Georgia librarian and read to your hearts content in the language of your choice!
