Multilinguals
Flag Languages
Which memberships can access Multilinguals?
-
Members must have the top tier membership, Palladium.
What special features do Multilinguals have?
-
Words are highlighted as they are read aloud.
-
Stories can be translated into practically any of the 109 principal world languages. Of this number, roughly sixty percent can be read aloud by a TTS speaker.
How are the sets of Multilinguals accessed?
-
By merely clicking Multilingual Sets under Palladium on the Overview page, all ten sets will pop up and look as they do pictured below. Then, to commence a learning session, click on one of them.
What does a set look like opened?
The entire set is visible. (The sample below is truncated, showing only two complete stories.)
Is there more than one way to read stories aloud?
Actually there are four ways -- on any web page, on Immersive Reader, on MS Word, or on the Google Translate Platform.
How is each way done?
Web Page
Double left-click on the first word of a story then right-click on it and select "Read aloud" from the drop-down menu.
Immersive Reader
Select a story with your mouse; then right click on it and choose "Open selection in Immersive Reader" from the pop-up menu
MS Word document
Select a story with your mouse, copy it, then paste it onto a pre-opened Word document. (A subscription is required.)
Google Translate Platform
Select a story with your mouse, copy it, then paste it on the user box of the pre-installed Google Translate Platform.
Is it possible to look up definitions?
-
Yes, there are three ways to do so. First, by double left-clicking on the word you want to learn about, then right clicking on it. Then, from the popup menu, choose either --
-
Ask the Copilot
-
Search the sidebar, or
-
Search the Web. (This last way will allow you to use your mouse to read entries aloud.)
*When through reading a definition, simply close the tab. You'll then be returned to the story you had been reading.
Is access to the Copilot, Sidebar, and Web available when using foreign languages?
-
Yes, and the videos found there are appealing and extremely educational.
Non-Flag Languages
14 Steps to Access Non-Flag Languages
Step One: Click "Multilingual Index" under Palladium.
Step Two: In order to get the best textual fidelity, the sets should be opened in English under the American flag.
Step Three: Access one of the ten. (In this example, we have chosen Set Two, as pictured below.)
Step Four: With your mouse, select Story 37, then right click on the highlighted selection. This action will trigger three things. One, the "Translate icon" will appear next to the "Read out loud icon" on the URL toolbar. Two, "Voice Options" will appear on the far right of the reading toolbar. Three, an English TTS voice will start to speak. See the pictures below.
* In some instances the translate symbol or icon is present when visiting a website for a new session. But more often than not, it's not present. Hence, the balance of these instructions is for the more likely scenario, when the symbol is missing.
Step Five: Pause the speaker.
Step Six: Click "Voice options," then choose a Croatian speaker from the drop-down menu.
Step Seven: With your mouse, select Story 37 again, as it's shown duplicated below.
Step Eight: Right click on the highlighted selection above. This action will cause the "Translate User Box" to appear as shown below.
Step Nine: In the user box above, check the blank square, then click "Translate" in the blue-colored square. Clicking this button will translate Story 37 but nothing else. See picture below.
Step Ten: Click the "Translate icon" on the URL toolbar This action will cause the box below to appear.
Translate Icon
Step Eleven: Click "Show original" in the box above. This action will momentarily change all the stories in the set to English. See picture below. (List truncated.)
Step Twelve: Click "Translate Icon" again. This time the user box will appear different. See picture below.
Step Thirteen: Click "Translate" in the blue square above. Then, Voila! This time not only will all the stories be translated to Croatian, but the entire website as well. See picture below.
Step Fourteen: Lastly, double left-click on the first word of any story then right click on it and choose from the drop-down menu, "Continue to read out loud from here."
Note: From hereon, there is no need to translate again while you surf from page to page in Croatian. However, when you're finished with Croatian and want to return to English or some other language, you must first change the TTS speaker to one which speaks the language you intend to use next.
*Be mindful that when going from one flag language to another flag language, changing speakers is done automatically.
