i was trying to use lens feature on my phone and found out i has a translate feature.聽 Going to be my crutch until i learn Spanish.聽 i speak in English and it repeats in Spanish,聽 you speak in Spanish and i hear English.聽 Too little too late.聽 i had bought hand held translators from Amazon in preparation to move to Costa Rica.

Does anyone have anything like that would like to share such as Waze.

Apple's translation app serves us well as does Google Translate when we're online. I'm sure the Android app store will have similar offerings. I don't see a need for a separate translator.

Waze is a location/direction finder which some users use to notify others of traffic jams and the like. It's free and generally pretty accurate.
