Conversing with the local habitats of different scattered places who neither can speak not can understand the universal language (English), while traveling worldwide, is one of the snags that defer you from enjoying the rich history and culture of those places.

Now you may put your snag at rest for Franklin Electronic, at CES, has popped up with, the TGA-490, a new electronic translator that will translate 12 languages, Mandarin (Chinese), Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish, for you.
