You Don't Speak Chinese? EchoTranslator Does It for You

Next year's Beijing Olympics will bring many reasons for excitement for many people, but also a few problems when it comes to communicating with the locals. EchoTranslator is just the thing any foreigner might need in order to get around efficiently.

Chinese is not the easiest language to learn, so hitting the books just now might prove to be both stressful and useless. Even more, learning only a few words that help you survive in Beijing might make you end up saying things you did not mean by accident.

EchoTranslator is a mobile program that will help any foreigner obtain the basic services that he might need in this country in an easy way. Another advantage is that people will not have to carry around a thick dictionary around them and worry about the correct pronunciation.

The program works quite easy. All that the user has to do is to select a question from a list of predefined ones from his mobile phone and play it to the Chinese that he is talking to. One extremely helpful aspect about this software is that it is also capable of translating back the answers of the person that the visitor is talking to. The Chinese will have to speak their answer in the mobile phone and let it automatically translate from Mandarin to English.

The 2008 Beijing Olympics is just one circumstance where this mobile program might prove to be useful. Besides, we could think of some many others, considering the fact that EchoTranslator includes 25 languages to choose from.

The program is available for free download and trial from the EchoTranslator website. Still, for having available more than 10,000 possible phrase combinations, the user can choose to subscribe and receive them gradually, in time, or purchase them form the start.
