]]> While English may be a widely spoken language, you can’t expect to get by using this one language everywhere you go. After all, there are many far corners of the globe where other languages reign supreme. Here are some of the best translation apps you can use to ensure that you get the help you need when English is no longer an option.

Google Translate

Offering 133 languages and at least 70 voice translations, Google Translate is one of the most extensive apps available. What’s particularly useful is that in addition to text, you can record your voice for audio translations while even scanning images for instant translations, making grocery shopping abroad that much easier.

iTranslate

Even with audio translation features, understanding what a person says becomes difficult if they speak at a fast pace. Fortunately, iTranslate enables you to slow down audio playback so that you can understand what’s being said. What’s more, you can save translations and send them to your email address so you can make your own personal phrasebook.

Waygo

If you visit either Japan, China, or Korea, then Waygo is the translation app for you. The moment you hold your camera up to Japanese, Chinese, or Korean writing, Waygo will instantly translate the text into English. What’s more, it is able to work offline if you are ever without internet connectivity.

]]> Traveling is a wonderful thing to embark upon, and each person has their own preferences for how they go about it. A key area to consider before planning a trip is language. Of course, many places will be open to communication in English, but you shouldn’t completely rely on this. It’s also respectful to make an effort to try to use the local language while abroad. While this may sound daunting and even impossible, there are plenty of options to help you. One of the easiest and most practical is to download a language learning app to learn a few words and phrases in your own time. Here are some great ones to try out.

Duolingo

This may well be the classic app most people think of when it comes to language learning. One of the original ones to first offer users the chance to learn a language with simple lessons and tests, this app is continually being improved to ensure it’s still at the top of the game.

Rosetta Stone

This one does cost a fee to use, but its immersive experience is in-depth, incredibly useful, and effective. The focus here is on ‘real-life’ conversations, so this one may set you up perfectly for your trip.

Drops

This app offers a fun and visually pleasing format so it’s more likely to draw you in and keep your attention focused. The lessons are short and concise, so it’s great for picking up a few words or phrases.
