Fun little gadget 
2008-04-29
This was a fun gadget to send to France with my son and daughter-in-law ! They loved it and found it very helpful-even in deciphering street signs. Good value for the money.
You Get what you Pay for 
2008-03-06
I read all the reviews before I bought this. I saw the comments on the "limited vocabulary", and boy is that true! You would think that with todays chip technology you could easily pack an entire spanish to english dictionary in the thing. But I could not even get translations for simple words. It does not translate phrases. Just words.
The pro's,,,,, it's cheap and compact, easily fits in shirt pocket and it's light. Limited Vocabulary for Spanish.
Red Flag 
2008-02-28
For those of you that study romance languages, you know that a translator that doesn't deal with articles is USELESS. For instance, if I wanted to translate "Book" into German, I should get "das Buch" and not just "Buch", because i won't be able to properly say any sentences without the article. This machine does not appear to offer or understand articles. I e-mailed the company's customer section, and they have not gotten back to me (it's been over two weeks). Also, for a class I am reading a young author book, and out of every ten words I look up, even in the infinitive form in the case of verbs, I've been lucky to get two responses. I'm getting awfully sick of the "Sorry, can't help" message. However, when it DOES manage to translate something for me, it hasn't yet given me an incorrect definition, as I have checked them with my paper dictionary.
Disappointed - Conversion is for DM, and not Euros 2008-02-20
I was very disappointed with this product because its currency conversion is for Deutsche Marks. The current official currency for Germany are Euros now. If the product description had listed the conversion was for Deutsche Marks I would not have purchased this particular product, so I feel the description was a little misleading. I would have paid more for a device that had the ability to convert the USD to the Euro. So I am stuck with a product that I am unhappy with. I'd love to exchange this for the product that I really need.
ok translator for the price 
2008-01-18
It has many words in it, but cumbersome to switch between languages. (you have to hit the setup button, then switch languages, then retype the word/phrase you had in the original language). Otherwise its pretty cool with the calculator and world time etc functions.

As this item is being given as gift to someone in Poland in August,I will not be able to review it until I receive some feedback from them.
12 Language Pocket Translator 2008-05-30
This is a handy item when traveling in Europe and the Americas. It even has language help for most of Eastern Europe.
It was challenging to enter the Cyrillic characters when visiting Russia, but it did the job. A pocket translator is no substitute for familiarity with a language, but it beats carrying several language dictionaries with you.
It would be nice to know how much battery life was left.
Good enough. Although don't expect to much from it. 2008-05-08
This product is pretty good in terms of features, it has a reasonable word number if you have an intermediate English level. If you need only English, so I suggest you to buy an English only with more English words.
Don't Buy 
2008-05-05
I purchased this item and it was defective when it arrived. Amazon's exchange process was easy and I received another one. This one worked - for a few times. Then it "locked up" and can no longer be used. I tried to do the reset process multiple times and it still will not work. I just put it aside as a dust collectore.
Pas plus bon 2008-05-04
Considering the cost of this item, it did little to enhance my french vocabulary experience while travelling in France last month. I consider my french to be quite stale and hoped that it would help with commonly used french words, but was disappointed with "no result found" most of the time a french or english word was entered for translation.
