| I want a universal translator that I can turn on, off and control (maybe imbedded). I travel too much and would love to talk to local folks. The languages I stumble in open hearts and doors. I've seen it! I speak and think in Spanish (not the Spanish dialect though) so I can hold a conversation. But ... sometimes a word escapes me (happens in English too... old age?) . It would be nice to have a backup. Those who speak French, Norwegian or Portuguese know I can't speak it well but it can open doors and we usually switch to English. Even using a few words of Taiwanese brought smiles. I'd love to have level A2 competency in a few other languages as well. I have seen the ads for hand-held translators and I think that would be a nice tool. So... I just went on-line! Under $200 and even uder $100. Awesome! I need to consider buying one. Would help it help me learn a language as well? What languages and dialects does it support? Back to the prompt. So they exist! But I want better than what is offered now and because I travel to specific areas I may want more languages ... although after English, Mandarin, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Hindi/Urdu, Thai, Russian, KiSwahili, Turkish and especially Arabic ... the top 24 should cover much of the globe. But what do I use when I revisit Kosovo? Will Albanian be supported? Communication is important to any traveler. The opportunity to connect is important to me.
