==Effectiveness/Workflow==
# Teacher creates lesson package for students in preferred language.
# Students view the lesson plan and highlight with their mouse any text they do not understand.
# Right-click mouse and translation options appear, offering twenty-five different languages.
# Students select one and the highlighted text is translated.
# If a certain language is used often, students can right-click and go to “options” and set a commonly-used language.
# An “automatically translate” option will have all lesson packages and text translated to the designated language without the user prompting.
