HOLA:

Found the translator to be very useful on a recent trip to the Dominican Rupublic. Good for using when shopping and dining out.

Waste of time:

Waste of time and money. I can't even open the battery compartment. I can't see the display because it is too faint. It doesn't have many simple words. The instruction sheet is incomplete. I really feel that I have been ripped off. Their warrenty says they will send me another one if this one doesn't work but a new one isn't worth the postage to send this one back.Franklin TES-118 English/Spanish Translator

spanish translator:

It will help me a lot when i go to Puerto Rico! WooHoo!!

Careful: Very small vocabulary:

This device is small which is good. It isn't always the most user friendly but works fine once one learns how to use it.
It has a very small vocabulary in spite of its claim to have many thousands of words. When I read Spanish text that is classified as Intermediate, I find only 1 out of 5 words that I want to look up in this dictionary. These are straight forward words like "bankrupt".
This device is useful only for someone who needs basic vocuabulary.
