But what if you don't speak Chinese, and the people you need to communicate with do? Exclusively?

One approach is to have your client write things in Chinese and you take those writings to someone else to translate for you. This presents three problems:

1. A violation of privacy.
2. Slow and cumbersome method.
3. Another potential weak link in the communication chain.

The cure to all three problems is an electronic translator. And, yes, we accept Purchase Orders for these impressive devices.

The device you want is the iTravl translator. Here are some reasons why:

• It's designed the the same PDA standards as the other devices you are probably already using, so the learning curve is flattened significantly.
• It's expandable. Simply buy an inexpensive SD card, and you add a second language--or even an entire set of languages.
• It's the best value in a translation device.
• It's even more affordable when you need multiple languages.

iTravl vs. low-cost tourist devices

While most translation devices seem like a bargain because of their low price, you don't even get what you pay for. Those devices are pretty much useless for your work, because they have very limited vocabularies and phrases designed for basic tourist functions. The 800 is designed for communication. The cheap units are a complete waste of your money, because for you they serve no purpose.

An iTravl, on the other hand, provides very high value.
