@C clearly I'd like the Gronze app on my android phone too, but when I go to the app store there is quite a list coming up under the search "Gronze" and none actually say Gronze. I have no idea which one to pick. Can you point me in the right direction please?I have the Chrome app on my Android phone, and use the same bookmarks as I have on my laptop. The Gronze page then has a Spanish/English option at the bottom of phone screen.
There isn't a Gronze app. If you use the Chrome Web browser on an Android phone you have the option to have pages translated automatically from a huge range of languages - including Spanish. A pop-up will ask if you want to read the page in the original language or your default language which I assume is English. A very simple and intuitive tool which makes a excellent job of translating Spanish most of the time. Just go to the Gronze website and it will miraculously appear in English. It's even more miraculous watching it do the same trick with Japanese though the results aren't quite as reliable@Cclearly - I'd like the Gronze app on my android phone too, but when I go to the app store there is quite a list coming up under the search "Gronze" and none actually say Gronze.
Very helpful. I’ll abandon efforts to get it as an app that translates and continue to access their website.

I see only solutions for Android. On an iPhone it’s easy. Use the standard web browser on your iPhone to connect to Gronze.com. In the address line (on top or bottom, depends how you’ve set it up) on the left side you will see “aA” . Touch it and you can choose in which language to translate the website. Good LuckWhile I am trying to learn some Spanish before my Camino (in April) it will never be enough to navigate Gronze in Spanish. While it translates nicely on my laptop, when I download their App(not really an app) to my phone, I can't get it to translate. Suggestions. Please keep the language simple as I am definitely not a strong techi person!! Thank you

This isn't built into the Firefox browser for Android, and for computers you need to install an extension.Most web browsers will translate the page for you (Safari, Firefox, Chrome).
Thanks, just tried it. Easy, works great.I see only solutions for Android. On an iPhone it’s easy. Use the standard web browser on your iPhone to connect to Gronze.com.

Hi KCP,While I am trying to learn some Spanish before my Camino (in April) it will never be enough to navigate Gronze in Spanish.

The translation of the place names can be humorous. For example Ventosa translates as Sucker.Hi KCP,
I always use Google Chrome when in Gronze, however, be aware it also translates the village, Alberque and hotels names which can be frustrating and/or annoying!
I passed through Carcaboso earlier today. Which Google Chrome translated as 'ghoulish'The translation of the place names can be humorous. For example Ventosa translates as Sucker.
have noticed this as well. Took me a bit to realize what was happening.The translation of the place names can be humorous. For example Ventosa translates as Sucker.
Google translations are slowly getting better. I have noticed that the more well known the name is then it is less likely to be translated and rather used, as is.have noticed this as well. Took me a bit to realize what was happening.
Great tip, but be careful that it will also translate the name of the albergues and the streets, which is not goodJust go to the Gronze website and it will miraculously appear in English
This has nothing to do with the Camino, but wanted to comment on the Max Headroom icon. NICE!!Chrome on iPhone works as @C clearly suggests.
Depends on what phone you are using. On an iPhone you can just use safari for IOS. On the top where you see the we address , you will see “Aa”. Presse it and you can make a choice in which language you like to translate. (Depending on which languages you have installed). On an Android phone I don’t know.While I am trying to learn some Spanish before my Camino (in April) it will never be enough to navigate Gronze in Spanish.

Thanks so much! That makes Safari (on an iPhone) much more useful than it has been for websites in Spanish.Depends on what phone you are using. On an iPhone you can just use safari for IOS.
