Download an app for on-the-spot translation

Traveling to a non-English-speaking country? Download an easy-to-use app for on-the-spot translation. With apps such as SayHi and Google Translate, you simply talk into your smartphone and it translates words and phrases into the language of your choice. Most apps not only translate into text, but also speak the words back to you in the native dialect, and they can include 50 or more languages.
