Top Translation Apps For iPhone & iPad

When I’m on holiday, one of my pet hates is when someone doesn’t make any effort to speak or converse in the native language. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve seen and heard people talking slowly and loudly to some poor waiter who still has no idea what they are saying. So seeing as the holiday season is fast approaching, why not get yourself a translation app. I’ve picked out three apps, which will help all of us get to grips with the basics of any language and make ourselves understood. And of course make the lives of all waiters far easier!

Using iTranslate Voice, you can speak a word or phrase and the app will reply in up to 42 target languages. If you have been misunderstood then just tap the pencil icon to correct it. What I thought was a great function with this app is that can you can pair up over Wi-Fi with someone else who also has the iTranslate Voice app. You can both converse in your own native languages and the app will translate for you - fantastic for helping break down language barriers.
