“Rem tene verba sequentur”. Before you go around trying to translate that—don’t worry, it shall be revealed to you in due course—let us tell you about our translation quests. It’s highly unlikely that you will meet someone speaking in Latin proverbs while you’re vacationing in a foreign country (if you do, please don’t forget to tell us about it!). But we do meet a lot of people who speak their native language, which, most of the time, we’re unfamiliar with.
But we do so enjoy mingling with the natives of any place we visit that we set out to overcome this language barrier. And we found a great alternative to Google Translate that maybe even works better: iTranslate. Here’s the translation of that Latin proverb, by the way:
“Stick to the subject and the words will follow.”
—Marcus Porcius Cato

Usages
What makes iTranslate app our favorite is the multi-functionality features that it offers. Here’s how we use the app in different ways during our travels.
-
Standard translations: The stock app is all about translations. It can be used to translate texts, voice memos, and even images. The latter always comes in handy when we need to translate signs that are in the native language of another country.
-
Conversation translator: With the iTranslate Converse app, it’s super easy to have conversations with any locals we find interesting no matter where we are. It’s great at translating speech instantly.
-
Learning languages: When they say iTranslate helps you speak all the languages of the world, it’s also meant literally. iTranslate Lingo is the app that lets you learn languages at your own pace and with quite ease.
But that’s not all, the app was designed with students, travelers, and other users in mind. It has many other features. It’s available on so many platforms, and even has a web app! Do give it a try and let us know how you liked it. Ciao!
