Translating Gadgets

[saphari]

Im sure there is a gadget out there that you can speak in to and it will translate it to another language.
Spending two weeks in Italy in a village where not many speak English..Im in need of some way to communicate..

Does anyone know of such a device. I know there are apps that you can get on your phone but I won't always have internet available to me..

No idea but maybe Dick Smiths could help OR a book store, have you googled?

[Naomi]

There are. I've never used one though. I find pointing and gesturing go a long way. I am one of THOSE tourists though.

I have a Welsh/English Dictionary..Maybe an Italian/English one would help..that way you can at least point to what you mean. I got mine from a Angus and Robertson.

I will check Dick Smiths out MOC, I hadn't thought of book stores...I have googled but not extensively.

Naomi...I know i will do a lot of pointing but my sister has a lot of friends there that want to have us for meals and take us places....They speak NO English and I speak NO Italian...lol...Just thought it would be nice to have some sort of conversation with them.

I think it would take me for ever to look it up in the dictionary Cherie but good for a last resort...Or does your dictionary speak...lol...

Oh that's hard. Is there no-one who speaks both who can translate for you? It's not the best, but would be easier than an electronic translator I think.

But anyway, something like this?
