As you travel around the world, cross out the language barrier from your list of problems that you might face in a foreign land. Traveling can be tough especially if you can not speak the language of that particular area, which will eventually force you to hire an interpreter or use a device that can translate conversations for you. To make your next trip easier, use Google Translate to translate a bilingual conversation.
For example, preparing to have a zoom call with someone in a french speaking country yet you can only speak English, this is where Google translate will be super helpful. Use Google translate to have a bilingual conversation in real-time and the app will work as your personal translator.
