Have you ever come to any situation that you will make you need an online translator?
Well if the answer is YES, then maybe you can get something from this article because I am gonna share with you an info about how you will not “lost in translation during meeting”.

Language is a universal subject in this world. Everybody has their own language. Eventhough Englihs is a international language, but it cannot be used in a certain situation and here Iaflindia.com play it’s role. They provided a translation and interpretation service on major languages of Indian subcontinent. It’s pretty smart I think because as I said, language is very universal.

Some of the languages that can be translated by Iaflindia.com are Urdu, Punjabi, Bengali, Gujarati, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Assamese, Kashmiri, Oriya, Sinhala, Nepali, Tibetan and Myanmares. As for me, this is a very good service from them because it just shows how professional they are. Well, doesn’t it good to have a translator for you when you want show up at your next multi-cultural event?

As we know, internet now is like a nerve for any communication in this world. Not only that, internet also has been recognized as the main medium to spread all the info within a second. For those of you that use an internet in your daily life, definitely you wil feel so “lonely” if your internet connection down.

As for myself, I will “die” if I can’t get online even for a day. As a full time blogger, internet just make my life. I earn my money 100% from internet. But in order to make my blogging job smooth, I need a Hughes net connection so that all the loading and surfing stuff can go fast without any failure.

High speed internet is the best choice for a person like me. But it will be better is we are using a satellite service. Yup, there’s a big different there. Eventhough many of us prefer to have an internet access with a cable or DSL modem, but high speed internet like Hughesnet can guarantee you a damn good Broadband Internet access.

One of the main reason why high speed internet- satellite service become more famous is you can use satellite high speed Internet without tying up your phone line. It’s wireless and it won’t bother you if someone call you. Not only that, they also offer a professional installation of high speed equipment when you buy a satellite.

This is the a great post from Lewis Smith from Timesonline.com. I think this type of post really can suit with this blog because it’s about science.
