1. Other Google Docs features

Google Docs can automatically translate your document. Simply choose Translate Document from the Tools menu. Choose a new document title. Choose the language from the list presented, and select Translate to open the copy in a new browser tab. This feature will translate the entire document. If you want to translate only part of a document, you can use Google Translate at translate.google.com. Select Accessibility Settings in the Tools menu to enable support for screen readers including Braille support and collaborator announcements, which are audible notifications when collaborators enter and exit the document. Screen magnifier support can also be enabled. Select dictionary from the Tools menu to open the panel with a definition of the word that the cursor is on in the document. Google Docs also has a personal dictionary. Hover over Spelling and Grammar from the Tools menu and select Spelling, then Personal Dictionary from the menu. Type a word in the Add a New Word field and select Add to create a personal dictionary entry. From now on, your word will not be identified as misspelled by the Doc's spellchecker. The Compare Documents feature compares the content of your current document with another in Google Drive. When comparing two documents, Google Docs creates a third document that shows the differences between the documents as suggested edits.
