Phone app that translates everything you say or hear - Latest application for world travelers

The Lonely Planet Offline Translator is a mobile speech and text translator for the world traveller – available for both Apple (iOS) and Android mobile devices.

It’s pretty simple. You talk, it translates. Just record your voice (or type in the text) and you will be presented with an audio and text translation – all without any data or roaming charges.

Making an effort to speak the native language enhances your travel experience and is a great way of connecting with people and a place. This app makes this easier and it also helps with the everyday practicalities when traveling in a non-English speaking country.

Unlike other translator products, it does not require an internet connection or data roaming. You can use it anywhere, anytime without incurring any costs.

You can translate from English to a foreign language, and also from a foreign language to English. This is particularly useful given sometimes you want to understand what is being said (or written) and other times you want people to understand you. You can actually have a two-way conversation with the app acting as the translator.

The Offline Translator apps make communicating simple, and are far more effective than the common approach of talking slower, and louder, while making unrecognizable hand signals.

Apps are currently available for Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Iraqi Arabic, and Tagalog with more languages coming.

Special introductory price is US$4.99 / AUD$5.49 / £2,99 / 3,99 €.
