postheadericon Ask Jack: Saving web pages and other queries

John needed to find a web page in the Google cache, but are there alternatives? Andrew wants a free program to replace the client for Google Translate, while Karen wants to add contact information to their email in Gmail


I had to see what a job description recruitment agency like last week, because the company offered less than the salary advertised. I managed to find information with Google's cached copy of the page, but it will not last forever, right? Taking into account the terms and conditions of mobile phones, or banks, how can you prove something that was a month ago, a year ago or even 25 years ago?

John


Google keeps a cached copy of indexes pages (at least not in the robots.txt file on a site) and you can see this easily by typing cache: in the search box, followed by the address of the Web page. Google will keep the cached page until the next time their spiders to visit the page, when it will be replaced by the new version. This could be in a few hours, or it could take several months. Sites that Google thinks are important usually receive more frequent visits.

However, the Internet Archive, an independent, also takes snapshots of web pages and save them forever. You can use the Wayback Machine to see what a page looks like nothing special from one day to 16 years. First page of Yahoo.com system is dated October 17, 1996, 7843 and has records of the home page of Yahoo. Of course, even the Wayback Machine captures all the Web pages, so it would be a very bad idea to trust him.

When you need to keep track, there are at least two things you can do. First, you can save a copy of the page in the hard drive of your PC. Internet Explorer offers the opportunity at hand to save a Web page in one file on the Internet standard. Mht file format (MIME HTML). Go to File, select Save As, and using the default "Web Archive, single file (*. MHT)." (The Opera browser also supports the * mht. On Apple did not, but you can save web pages as PDF files.) Second, you can take a snapshot of the page using one of the cards Acquisition popular screen, or building Clippings Microsoft Windows 7 and Vista. It's simple and, in many cases, the best approach.

Most Web content is transient, and Google is especially interested in finding things that were written recently, regardless of quality. If you think you never want to see something new, it is best to save it. There are some applications to store and organize Web pages, as of SurfSaver AskSam ($ 19.95), CyberKeeper ($ 14.99), iMiser Research Assistant ($ 39.95) and Surfulater ($ 79). Sorry, I can not find a free alternative to SurfSaver, but it is a good value for business users and students.

Text translation site

client

used to use Google Translate to instantly translate Web pages, but now works as a paid service. Can you recommend a similar service that does not require cutting open and paste in Google Translate absurd?

Andrew

Microsoft has a similar service, Bing Translator, which is used to translate Facebook. May 31 was also replaced long Yahoo Babelfish (babelfish.yahoo.com) service. Translator system is a free alternative.

There are some Firefox add-ons that could be addressed. Quick Translator seems to do what you want, but also uses the Google API. Possible alternatives include the toolbar ImTranslator Lingo and Fox, which use different translation services online.
