Over the years, I have been fortunate to see so much of the\r\nworld. I regularly travel to various foreign countries both for business and\r\nfor pleasure. Although I always try to learn a few key phrases in the local\r\nlanguage of whatever place I am visiting, I am really fluent in only a couple\r\nof languages. This is usually enough to get by on, but sometimes it can be\r\ntough to decipher the meaning of signs when you don’t speak the language.\r\nFortunately, there are a number of language translation apps that can help in\r\nthese types of situations.
Note: This gallery is also available as an article.
iTranslate lets you perform verbal translations. Simply choose the language being\r\nspoken and the language that you want to translate to. The app supports a wide\r\nvariety of languages.
It’s important to note that this app differs significantly\r\nfrom one platform to the next because it uses the native translation engine.\r\nFor instance, this image shows the Windows Phone version, which uses the Bing\r\ntranslation engine. However, the Android version uses the Google translation\r\nengine.
Ask Ziggy isn’t\r\na dedicated translation app, but it does do a good job of translating phrases. It\r\nprovides a Siri/Cortana-like interface that allows you to verbally interact\r\nwith your smartphone.
You can use the Online-Translator.com app directly through\r\nthe Online-Translator.com Web site, but free apps are also available for iOS,\r\nAndroid, and Windows Phone.
