9 Gadgets You Must Have While Traveling

7) Global Translator

One of the great joys of traveling is picking up a bit of the local language in order to converse with people in their native tongue, but getting past ‘one coffee with milk, please’ in the local lingo can be a challenge, especially if your visit is short. Here’s where the global translator steps in. A number of apps are now available that will translate short phrases from one language to another and speak them out loud from your smartphone, but they usually rely on Wi-Fi. If you’re traveling to a place where you don’t speak the language and are unlikely to have Wi-Fi, it’s worth thinking about buying a global translator that has a number of languages already stored in its memory.
