Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Overall Good
Review: Ok I searched a bunch of translators for my trip to Europe and found this one to be the best.

Don't expect to be speaking the language or translating the bible into Romanian.

It is good if you have a background in a language and need something to help out your vocabulary. It takes about 5 to 10 seconds to find the word you are looking for and translate it into whatever language you desire.

More popular languages or those more broadly spoken have a much larger volume of words. Overall if you are traveling to Europe or parts of Asia it would be difficult to find a word you could not translate. I wish I had this when I was in school for both my spanish and german classes.

Cons: You don't transfer all 20+ languages onto your handheld, rather you pick which ones you want. I selected about 8 but I still have plenty of memory to bring a few more. Rare languages will only have basic words so don't expect too much. Also no dirty words translated.

Pros: Hey if you are in a science class this is a MUST. I was a science major and the latin translation would have helped out a ton since most biology/anatomy is labeled in latin. If you are traveling this is nice to have when looking at a menu and making sure you aren't ordering sheep balls or something. Its quick to switch from german to english to english to french. Its like having a pocket translation book for 20 languages in one dictionary. All words come with brief (and i mean like 3 or 4 words) defintion.

Overall this product does just what it says. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars because the CD is having problems now after 2 months. It may just be mine or a scratch I accidentally did, but whatever the case I can't add greek which I wanted.
