Franklin Electronic TES-118 Translator

With a large enough word database this Spanish/English translator provides a good number of phrases and words for the occasional traveller or holidaymaker to Spain.

The phonetic function - typing the word as it sounds - is also helpful when the spelling of a word is unknown.

For the tourist there is a helpful number of phrases split into categories such as food and drink, arriving at the hotel.

There are also games to help you improve your knowledge of basic language. There is also, as every Franklin model seems to incorporate, a databank for your own information although I never personally use it as there are faster more accessible ways to access data although I can see it could be useful when away from home.

Good for the occasional traveller but the regular business traveller/visitor may find the number of words in the Franklin Merriam Webster DBE-1470 more useful.
