I gave you some Google tips in More Google Tips at the beginning of this month, and some in the first installment of Google Tips in January. I have some more for your this time – I'll be running out of words to add at the beginning – maybe "Yet Some More Google Tips" next time? These are some tips that I have tried out and have found useful; those that would help translators come first, of course.
1. Adding a tilde to get related terms and lists of terms
To your search word prefix a tilde (~) and glossary to get glossaries, dictionaries and list of terms.
Example: ~welding +glossary
2. Range of numbers
You can use this 2007..2008 to your search terms to find hits during the years 2007 to 2008.
For instance, you can search for all the posts that you sent to the Honyaku mailing list in these years by using the following keywords in Google:
3. Weather in any city
Find the weather at any location (in Japan too).
Ex: weather Tokyo OR weather Antwerp
Ex: weather 94306
Gives the weather in Palo Alto California
4. Find many useful e-books
You can read up information on a specific topic by finding downloadable e-books related to the subject.
+fundamentals +welding +filetype:pdf
OR
+introduction +C programming +ebook
5. "better than XXX" or "YYY sucks" search!
If you wish to know about products that are better than XXX, or alternatives to product YYY, trying using this search.
For example: Enter "better than Trados" and it should give you details of various CAT Tools!
Have a great day!
