iTranslate acts as your own personal and customizable pocket translation dictionary for your iPhone and iPod Touch. This iPhone app is completely free and lets you translate in over 30 languages. Switching between different languages is fast and easy. Another nice feature about this app is that is saves your recent texts in case you need to go back to them or can’t for the life of you remember how to translate goat in Chinese.
The iTranslate iPhone app works with most of the major languages on the planet and does a decent job converting common words and phrases although the grammar needs work. Similar to other online translation engines iTranslate isn’t perfect but gets the job done and will be enough to find a bathroom in case SitOrSqaut doesn’t have anything nearby.
The translation engine of the app is based on Google so you can expect the quality of the conversions you get to be similar to any online translations you may try. Again, it’s not a complete replacement for actually learning a few sentences of a language, but a useful tool to getting the basic phrases, “where’s the bathroom”, “how far is”, and hello.
Aside saving your translations, you can also email them to yourself or your friends who might care or be stuck trying to figure out how much a drink costs. iTranslate also comes with a few other tweaks like giving you the option of changing font sizes and spell check.
