If You Don\u2019t Speak the Language let Google Translate<\/p>\n

Google Translate<\/strong>(free on\u00a0iOS<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Android<\/a>). This app can help you overcome some foreign language obstacles. Its simplest feature is the text-translation system\u2014 you type in text in a foreign language and Google will give you the English translation, or you type in English what you want to say in another language and Google will show you the foreign text to use.<\/p>\n

Google Translate<\/a>\u00a0also has a spoken-word feature, where it will listen to someone speaking in, say, French, and show the translated text in English on the screen. This can be unreliable, depending on the noisiness of the environment.<\/p>\n

A very handy feature of Google Translate is its camera-based translation<\/strong>. To use this, place text printed in a foreign language in front of your phone\u2019s camera, and on the screen, you\u2019ll see a live image with the words automatically replaced in English. This tool is particularly helpful for reading restaurant menus.<\/p>\n

This requires data and can be invaluable when you are out\u00a0 and about so you may want to buy a little extra data if you will be out and about in a foreign country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
