3.0 out of 5 stars Language translator, January 19, 2007

By	Lamar S. Osment (Birmingham,AL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Most hand held languge translators provide an insuffcient vocabulary.
This device is no exception. It is only a very slight step above the
less expensive TWE-100 by Franklin. It does offer seven additional languages and all have skimpy vocabularies.

4.0 out of 5 stars Franklin TGA-470 works great, June 15, 2008

By	Michael Shaw "Gadget Guy" (Ottawa Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We used it in China and Japan on recent trips and while it does not speak it worked just great.

Most words and phrases we needed were in the thing and moderately easy to find. The key is to search for one word of a phrase.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wow...$100 ???, July 22, 2008

By	Mika (USA, OK) - See all my reviews

I bought this translator to help me out when I go to Japan and also when I study it. Yet, I was shocked to see that this translator is absolutely not worth its money. I was taking it to my Japanese tutor and when we had to look up a sentence (which we actually found WOW) it spelled tomodachi WRONG -.- so I am annoyed by a translator I pay $100 for and get taught wrong -.- it also has very little Vocabulary a lot of words I will need when I go to Japan are not even on here -.- how ridiculous is this If I could I would give it back in a heart-beat get my money back and buy one that is worth its money I am so annoyed by this. Really don't waste any time or money on this product it is not worth it....
