What happens when you end up going for a holiday to a place whose language is literally Greek and Latin to you? Well sign language can’t really be a sensible option too. Coz a tongue struck out of your mouth could mean a ‘rude’ gesture in some cultures and countries but could perhaps be a welcome sign in some other part of the globe. A translation book also may not help much.

But things got a little better now, thanks to a software developed by a British company called Echo Translator. The new software has the ability to deliver an instant native voice output from a convenient on screen menu, which includes 25 languages.

With the new Echo Translator software the users could just take their phones and with a few quick clicks on the simple sentence menu, they could get a perfect audio translation in the local language. So, if you really cant understand the alien sounding and looking dishes in the menu card, then you needn’t worry or get confused with the waiter’s response, just show them your phone, click Mandarin to English and they use your phone to answer your question.

With the help of the Echo Phraselogic technology, phone customers can speak, learn and instantly interact with people of different cultures and tongues, without any prior familiarity of the foreign language. Thus the Echo TranslatorT ends up becoming an essential travel tool that will end up making your business and leisure travel a fantastic experience.

Echo Translator is available for Windows MobileT or JavaT handsets, and can be downloaded for free and can be tried from www.echotranslator.com/

While the Echo Travel Basics is free, the Echo Travel Pro that comes with over 10,000 possible phrase combinations can be subscribed to weekly, monthly or can even be bought outright providing an on-device, personal and convenient alternative to phrase books and classical forms of language education.
