If you travel overseas on family vacations or for business you might have come across a language barrier. Luckily, your smartphone can help you with this problem. There are many translation apps available that you can use on your personal or business trips. Below are three that we think are some of the best.
Jibbigo
Jibbigo costs $4.99, this app is available for both the iPhone and Android. It has such an massive dictionary you would be hard pressed to find a language this app can’t translate. To use it, users speak straight into their smartphone and Jibbigo will give you a translation via text or voice. This app can be extremely useful to people traveling to remote locations as it does not require a network connection.
Dean Foster’s Culture Guides
If you are looking for something more powerful then Jibbigo, Dean Foster’s Culture Guides may be what you are looking for. These guides are available for 12 countries so far. They provide not only translation of the languages of these countries but maps, up to date weather reports, and exchange rates.
Word Lens
Word Lens works a bit differently then other translation apps. It uses your smartphones camera. All you do is snap a picture of anything written, whether that be a sign, menu, or book and this app will translate it for you. Regrettably, the only languages stored in this app are Spanish, French, Italian, and English; though they are working on expanding the app. So if you are visiting a country that speaks these languages, this will be very beneficial.
