Is English not your native tongue? No worries! The Everyday Web Expert has teamed up with Google Translation to bring The Everyday Web Expert to your language. We are excited to bring our great content that comes from our TEWE Times company blog in your native language. You will also be able to read our entire website in your language.

How it works

At the bottom of every page right after the content, you will see a link that is called translate. Click on that link and a link to a variety of languages (and flags). Choose your language and watch as the content is translated. Voila!

Test it out!

Go ahead and give it a test drive. Even if your native language is English, check out our site in other languages.

What is Cylay?

Cylay was developed in response to the ever-growing need for security and privacy protection on mobile devices. Cylay also is the first iPhone protection app in the world.

You can also be notified of suspicious activity and fraud detection. Monitor SIM card changes, proximity alerts, and other unauthorized actions.
