One of our favorite travel apps is Google Translate. Don’t forget to download it before you travel and play around with its functions. Google Translate not only allows you to type, handwrite or speak something and have it translated to another language of your choosing, but you can also use its camera feature to translate restaurant menus and other foreign language signs! You can also store common phrases you might need while traveling as well as translate text that may come across your phone. We suggest you download the languages you will need in advance for offline translations as well (not all languages are available for this feature).
