You can zoom through web pages in no time

A web browser is one of the most frequently used programs. Many people don’t know the difference between a browser and the Internet. Today, the most popular web browsers are Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Edge (a Windows platform). Together they hold 98% of the market.

The websites and web pages you view with your browser are created by different people for different purposes; sometimes they might have quite a large font, and sometimes the text might appear too small.

The quickest way to customize the font size of a web page on Windows is by scrolling the mouse wheel with the CTRL key pressed:

CTRL + wheel scrolling up—increase
CTRL + wheel scrolling down—decrease

Unfortunately, these commands won’t apply if you use a laptop because it is equipped with a touchpad instead of a mouse. In this case, the commands below can be used:

CTRL + PLUS—increase
CTRL + MINUS—decrease

The plus and minus can be pressed on both the main keyboard and the numeric keypad.

All these commands are equally applicable in all browsers. Web browsers usually remember the scale you used for a certain website and show it accordingly the next time you visit this website automatically.

About the differences between human and machine translation

Semi-philosophical note 1. Translation is technically sense rendering. 2. Machines are unable to operate senses. Conclusion: machine translation is no translation. “Machine translation” is an oxymoron: translation cannot be done by a machine. If it is performed by a machine, it is no translation; if it is performed by a human, it is not machine […]

How to remove the “The translation memory … could not be opened” error in Trados Studio

What danger lies in clouds When several translators are working on a big project simultaneously, it seems very alluring to put the translation memory in some cloud, connect all the vendors to it, and the translations of one of them will be immediately available to all the others as if working with a server or […]

The Philippines and the Spanish language

Linguogeographic notes In 1542, two islands of the archipelago, which would receive the name of the Philippines later,—Leyte and Samar—were named Felipinas after Philip (Felipe) II, the king of Spain at that time.
