Title: Just buy a phrase book
Review: Others on this site have recommended Rick Steve's phrasebooks, or Berlitz or Lonely planet and I'll buy one of these. I expected that I could type a sentence and get a translation. This is not the case. I could not change languages. The device got stuck in Spanish. I had to take a paper-clip and push the reset button to get it back to English (so carry a paper clip!).Others have said that the display is tiny and hard to read. Quite true. I was hoping for something lighter than a book, but I think you can search a book more quickly than you can scroll thru the tiny menus in this device.Based on reading I have done on Amazon -- the whole category of portable translators seems to be a dissapointment.
