So how do you use it? First you look up a phrase in the appropriate category in English, then you press a button to have the phrase translated into one of the other supported languages. It cannot be simpler. But there is more.

There is one little deficiency in this electronic language translator, however. You cannot input your own words or phrases to have them translated. The list of travel phrases available is preset by the manufacturer and cannot be added. Considering its price and its intended purpose (to help you get by in common travel situations), this is not a major issue for most people.

The small and compact design of the Nyrius Global ENTOURAGE11 Talking Travel Translator takes up little room and is thus perfect for traveling. It is also one of the best priced translators out there. Customers love its value for money, and ease of use.

It is portable, easy to carry, stylish and helpful (remember the talking feature?). It certainly beats having to carry dictionaries and phrase books around!

Note: Nyrius also has a 12 language talking translator. It adds Portuguese to the list of 11 languages mentionend above. So if you are planning to go to Portugal or Brazil, then you may want to consider getting that one. In terms of features, the two translators are very similar.
