Translator applications are ideal if you travel abroad, or just trying to learn a new language at home.
The Apple App Store has a wide variety of translator apps available for the iPhone, the iPod and the iPad that allow you to translate from anywhere in the world.
Of course, the quality of these applications are very different and each will include its own set of translated languages.
Features also vary widely and some apps even allow you to translate voice messages through the mobile device.
The following is our pick of the first five translator applications in the App Store.
53Languages Translation and Pronunciation - Available free with ads or with a fee for the premium version, this app can be used on both the iPhone and iPad.
The software uses the highly rated Google Bing and translator, so that is an Internet connection is required for the translation.
Google's translator includes 53 languages and Bing translates 30 languages.
The free version provides access to phonetic pronunciation for only Japanese translations.
After several seconds, this Nuance-developed app displays the text translation on the iPhone screen along with providing an audio translation.
Trippo also needs to access the Internet for its translations, so make sure that you will have connectivity if you plan on using it abroad.
Jibbigo - This application uses speech recognition to your iPhone, iPod or iPad translate.
You simply speak into the device and Jibbigo translates the message into audible speech.
necessary because of the advanced nature of the processing for speech recognition, the translation sound considerably slower than text-based translation.
There is also a higher error rate, so you have to be willing to speak slowly and clearly for more accurate translations.
Another disadvantage is that this system only for the translation between the English and the other four languages: Arabic, Iraqi, Chinese, Japanese and Spanish.
Ultralingua -The Ultralingua mobile dictionaries are well established and the App Store has a great selection to choose from.
Each dictionary contains an extensive list of word pairs, and additional features include the ability to conjugate verbs, translate the numbers into text and the search for further information on the Internet.
They also have specialized dictionaries, for example, the French-English Medical Dictionary.
The main disadvantage is that you purchase separately each dictionary.
iLinguist - Developed as a series by the Apps Dev Team, iLinguist can translate languages offline.
English translated iLinguist between the West and five other languages of Western Europe: Dutch, French, Finnish, German and Italian.
The West European dictionary includes 250,000 word pair entries.
