Never again be lost for words on your foreign travels Monday July 20th 2009, 16:08  It's amazing how a few words in a foreign tongue open so many doors when you're in tourist mode overseas. The locals positively love the fact that you're making the effort - unlike most Brits abroad who think everyone understands that universal language, Shouted English. Phrase books come in handy as do electronic translators, but neither give you the key to the door - pronunciation. The answer is a lovely bit of kit from Trinvo called the Talking Translator. It not only stores over 750 commonly used travel-related sentences and more than 2,500 words in a dozen different languages, it says them in a crystal clear human voice in the respective native language. At a flick of a switch you'll be able to talk Spanish, Russian, German, Dutch, French, Italian, Turkish, Japanese, Portuguese, Arabic, and Mandarin Chinese. Or at least you're Trinvo will be able to on your behalf. It gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, talk to the hand, that's for sure. Get your hands on a Trinvo Talking Translator from The Gadget Shop for £34.99. Comment on this post |
