Here is a link to a good electronic translator: http://www.shoptronics.com/mulagltatrpo.html

This device cross-translates between 12 multiple languages - English, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, Russian, Portuguese, Swedish, Japanese, Chinese (Mandarin) and Turkish. Just search the desired phrase using the 8 conversational categories and this translator will speak the phrase aloud in the target language.

Our local police are getting this, seems like a good idea.

A translator is great for commands, but this little thingie is cool for travel, and doesn't need batteries. It's also funny for some inexplicable reason.

Whoops--I didn't realize shoptronics was advertising. I was just sharing, I swear--I have no stake in the Point It book.
