Lingo Language Translator is quite useful but a little light on the vocabulary of words. Easy to use.

I guess you get what you pay for and this item only cost me around $35. I didn't really need one of those translators with hundreds of languages, so the fact that this one only had 8 was fine with me. The problem is the tranlations from English into Chinese. It does give me some (not as many as I'd wanted) but the biggest problem is it doesn't give the tone mark. So I'm not sure how to pronounce it in Chinese and the tone makes a BIG difference in the meaning! So, it's not that useful for me, other than, I could get an English word displayed in Pinyin and ask a Chinese person how it's pronounced. That wasn't what I wanted, but I waited too long to return it while I was in the States and now am back in China. Oh well. Maybe I'll take a trip to Italy from here and then it'll be useful!

SOme of the translation words are wrong....I happen to know them. Japanese trans are pretty bad! It is very limited phrases. If the phrase you are looking for is not on the list then you will not be able to translate it.. You cannot type any phrases you want. It cannot translate that way.
