Five free tools to help you translate foreign languages
Over the years, I have been fortunate to see so much of thernworld. I regularly travel to various foreign countries both for business andrnfor pleasure. Although I always try to learn a few key phrases in the localrnlanguage of whatever place I am visiting, I am really fluent in only a couplernof languages. This is usually enough to get by on, but sometimes it can berntough to decipher the meaning of signs when you don’t speak the language.rnFortunately, there are a number of language translation apps that can help inrnthese types of situations.
