Allows you to search for something in your own language (for example, English) and translate the results from the web in another language (for example, French). While machine translation is not perfect, it's usually good enough for you to obtain the gist of information in a language you might otherwise be unable to access. This feature may be particularly useful for international users since although the majority of Internet users out there are non English speakers, a majority of the content on the internet is still in English.
