There are other useful Google search types, for e.g.  select “search by image” and upload a letter, photo or anything with text and then select “translate”. I scanned and translated a whole German lathe catalogue dating from 1894 using this and the catalogue was in poor condition but it still read and translated it.

If you prefer, rather than typing it in, lower right of my browser window under settings

Thanks for prompting me to look in the Settings, Bill

… different browser, different style BUT thanks to you, I found something to switch OFF and life feels better already !
