For the Google translate recommenders, that will not work if you're in other country with no Internet connection. Or maybe you like paying the huge data roaming fees. This works offline just fine.

3.0 out of 5 stars Worth it for traveling... January 9, 2012

By Chris

This app isn't too bad for traveling. Google Translate is probably my preferred choice, since it is free, and can pretty much say anything (plus has conversation mode). The downside to Google Translate is that it relies on a data connection for the translations. It seems like this app has everything completely installed on the device, so if you're going somewhere where you don't have a data connection, this app should still work.

It is rather large. With my SGS running Gingerbread, I was able to move it to the SD card through the Applications settings menu (not using an APPS2SD app). If you have a device with limited memory, then it might be better to try Google Translate.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best and most entertaining app January 9, 2012

By Richard Tromblay

This app works perfectly on the Kindle Fire. Only took 15 seconds to download. Once you pick the original and destination languages, you pick a phrase and it will show in highlighted yellow at the bottom of the screen. Just tap the yellow area and it will speak out loud the translation. It's great fun to hear phrases in other languages.

3.0 out of 5 stars won't install January 10, 2012

App says I don't have enough space, does not install to SD. As an app that has almost as much as soon phones, it should install to SD.

4.0 out of 5 stars a great app January 9, 2012

By Lucinda A. Gibbons

this is a great app. it has so many phrases that a person would use when traveling. I am using it to review what little Spanish I learner in collage and I think with regular practice i would be comfortable using a small amount of conversational spanish.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice in a crucnh January 9, 2012

By S. Burke

As Dioni points out this can be very handy tool to use in a crunch when you don't have an internet connection. Once you have selected your phrase to hear the audio, press on the yellow translated text box at the bottom of the screen. This isn't obvious. It may help if the developer placed a speaker icon at the bottom next to the text to make it more obvious.

2.0 out of 5 stars Few languages and Not User Friendly January 9, 2012

By Roscoe Wellington

Firstly, it doesnt have Russian which is a bummer. Secondly and most relevantly, the UI sucks. It's confusing and non-intuitive. Im never sure whats going to happen when I click a button. Its also kind of unattractive. Maybe someone will get some use out of it but Im uninstalling.
