gronze.com, how to change to English?

[Thomas V]

Hi all, I just joined the gronze.com site today and I can’t get the English translation to come up. Does anyone know how to switch it to English while in the site?

As far as I know there is no English language option in the site itself. But you can try what I do. Use Google Chrome as your web browser and make sure you turn on the automatic translation function. It will then translate from Spanish and many other languages for you. Works very well with Spanish websites. And in both the desktop and mobile versions of Google Chrome.

Thanks!! I’ll give that a go

It is how I did it when using Google Chrome;

1. In the site, e.g., www.gronze.com, move the mouse (pointer) to anywhere in the page.
2. Right mouse click, a drop-down menu is popped up.
3. The last third entry is "translate to English".
4. Google will ask you if you also want to translate this site in English in future.

That certainly works. The advantage of changing the Language option in the Advanced settings is that you need only do that once and you will be offered a translation automatically in future whenever Google Chrome recognises any website is in a language other than your default system one (in this case English). Particularly useful if you do a Google search for news items for example when it will have a go at translating all the brief first line excerpts that Google displays in the results. A big timesaver. If you wish to revert to the original language version of a translated page you can do that very easily by clicking on a small icon in the address bar.

The only problem with the translation in Chrome is when it changes place names. I was looking at the Norte route, and tried to find Deba - but it had translated to Must in English. Likewise, the Levante route is translated to I raised.

I use Chrome for this forum because of the many links made here to non-English websites but most of my browsing is done in Firefox. This helps keep Google from knowing everything about me.

My concern as well, Rick. But hadn't thought of using chrome solely when I connect to pilgrim sites that need translation--thanks!

Oops. I forgot to mention that I also now use Chrome for sites where I have to enter a lot of information or Captcha confirmation. A number of times I've wasted much time filling these out and have the submit end up failing for some reason because the site was designed with only Chrome in mind.

Thanks all.. I got it!!

With an Android device Google can auto translate or a simple copy and a translation bubble will pop up.

If using SAFARI go up to the top bar and click on VIEW, scroll down and click on TRANSLATION than click on TRANSLATE TO ENGLISH.

Like you I’m struggling too find Gronze.com ( APP) anywhere in English,

There is no App. Just use Chrome or adjust your browser settings as advised above. If you’re using a phone rather than any other IT resource learn a little Spanish the phrases and descriptors used on Gronze are simple and endlessly repeated

I'm Italian and understand Spanish, but I prefer English. I'm Firefox browser fan, also on mobile devices. If you use this link, at top there a bar and you can choise which language you want. English translate is good, Italian not so good. Only problem are the images, on the translate bar are 3 dots, then go to the original url
Ciao

El Camino Francés es el Camino de Santiago en el que confluyen la mayoría de las vías medievales de peregrinación europeas, siendo por tanto el camino de mayor relevancia histórica y el más seguido por los peregrinos. Su punto de inicio, hoy en día, tanto puede considerarse Roncesvalles como...

Alternatively to Google Translate, I recommend that you read Gronze.com "as is"! It is so condensed and easy to understand without knowledge of Spanish. The Gronze is very simple and straightforward, a great way to learn useful expressions while walking and repeating them in conversations. Pity that many English speakers are phobic to try, which others sometimes perceive as arrogance.

There is an English option on my iPhone and the I saved then saved to Notes.

I agree that for the basic stages, distances, accommodations listing, you are much better off to leave it in Spanish. As @trecile tells us, Google Chrome will translate the names of places, and also, I assume, names of hotels, albergues, etc. That is decidedly unhelpful to pilgrims but unavoidable with a computer translation program.

But… there is a wealth of information on gronze that very few English speakers ever use — I particularly like the “al loro” entries for each stage - click down on the bottom. It’s a compilation of all sorts of kind of random observatrions and bits and pieces of recommendations, interesting things to visit, etc. The “recorrido“ tab gives a nice summary of the towns you will pass through, too.

A few years ago a peregrina on the Camigas FB page was complaining because her luggage didn't get delivered to the "Boarding House" that she had specified on the tag that she attached to her backpack. She was using the Buen Camino app which translates pensión to boarding house.
