I cannot remember how many times a translator app would�ve been beneficial in different situations. Google released an iPhone Translate App that can work either through text, or speaking. It�s a free app, so there�s really nothing to stop you from getting it. It has about a 4.5 rating from almost 300 reviews, and works pretty decently if I do say so myself.
Using it in the Japanese to English version, it did hold up pretty well, but you must speak very clearly for it to catch what you�re saying. Not to mention that because the phone has no idea what the context is of what you’re saying, you can end up with some strange translations. Overall though, it’s a handy app that is worth downloading.
