Hello Sharon,

I strongly recommend Google Translate for on the fly bi-directional automatic 
translation.  

The folks at AppleVis did a marvelous podcast on this app so if you have time, 
you should check it out.

Have a happy and safe journey.

Mark

Subject: Requesting recommendations for an app to learn essential Spanish to 
aid when travelling, and a translation app


Hi All,

I am being sent from Canada to a conference in Lima Peru next month. I will 
have benefit of a translator for the conference proceedings.

I am only in Lima for a week but I would like to get some sense of being able 
to communicate common courtesies and basic survival phrases. I am totally blind 
so need it to be accessible with voice over, not reliant on any visual.

Also, what might you recommend for an English to Spanish translation web site 
or app?

I have not yet sorted out if I will even be able to use my phone as Canada has 
crazy cell charges and roaming charges that are even more crazy!

Thank-you for any recommendations.

Lastly, kind of unrelated,  if anyone has travelled to Lima, I would love to 
hear about experiences/advice  which you could post me about privately.

sbal...@nexicom.net

With thanks and appreciation.

Peace and Positivity

        Sharon
