Smartphones are becoming better, packing in more utilities and selling more with every passing day. They are being increasingly relied upon by business travelers for a variety of purposes. Business travelers frequently travel to foreign countries where they face communication problems due to lack of understanding of the local language. Based upon this knowledge mobile phone manufacturers are developing increasingly sophisticated mobile phone applications that provide instant language translation. These applications are poised to replace translation guides used by travelers.
Nokia and RIM have developed a number of language translation apps which are available through their respective application stores. These language translation tools facilitate multi-lingual translation through text, speech, instant messaging, SMS, email and also in chat environments. Thus they provide business travelers with a comprehensive set of language translation solutions. Moreover unlike the traditional translation guides, these apps are much more efficient and easier to carry, and many of them also keep updating and “learning” according to usage.
The latest development in this area is a translation application that reads and translates text provided in pictures, for example the image of a food menu or road sign. What the application does is extract the text from the picture with the help of optical character recognition technology and then translates it to the targeted language. Both Nokia and RIM’s Blackberry have come up with such applications. While the Nokia product is called Wee and Blackberry’s is named Interlecta Translator.
