Look to learn a list of words like 'search, 'image', 'video'. Take note of various images and try to find common words in those images so that it can help you find things faster. You don't need to know the whole language, just enough to do sleuthing and plop it into a translator.

I've gotten pretty decent at trawling Chinese news sites and scientific journals this way. The problem with translating the page in browser is you sometimes lose some context clues that are very useful for finding articles, so its best to learn what certain specific phrases mean

Theres also some apps that can swap Chinese characters over to pinyin. I find that helpful too for searching because I really suck at their writing system currently
