• Transitions Abroad (e) About: "Travelers and tourists, the distinction is simple: Tourists are those who bring their homes with them wherever they go, and apply them to whatever they see.

Those words were written in 1977 by Gary Langer, a 21-year-old budget traveler, in the first issue of Transitions Abroad magazine. In a few lines, he presciently summed up how the magazine/webzine, and travel, would evolve in the next 40+ years. Transitions Abroad was created as the antidote to superficial forms of commercial mass tourism, a magazine with the specific goal of providing information that would enable empathetic travelers to actually meet the people of other countries, to learn about their culture, to speak their language, and to "transition" to a new level of understanding and appreciation for our fascinating world.

  • The built-in translation feature: Chrome also has a built-in translation feature that automatically detects when you are visiting a webpage in a language that is different from your Chrome interface language. If this happens, a banner will appear at the top of the page with a button that you can click to translate the page into your preferred language.
  To use the built-in translation feature, you need to make sure that the "Automatically translate pages in other languages" option is enabled in Chrome's settings. You can find this option by going to **Settings > Advanced > Languages > Automatically translate pages in other languages.
