Learning a New Language?

September 18th, 2007 Molly

Traveling to another country and want to dine out or shop?  You need a Language Translator!  Madison Public Library now has a variety of hand-held translators to help you with on-the-spot translations.  Just type in a word or phrase, and the translator will find the correct translation!  Choose from:

• English/Spanish
• 5-Language European (Dutch, English, French, German and Italian)
• 12-Language (Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish)

Features include: conversational phrases grouped in these categories: Doing Business, Travel & Directions, Eating & Drinking, Shopping, Hotel and Emergencies; games and exercises to enhance your grasp of the language; currency converters; and a world clock.

Ask a librarian at any of our 9 branches or put a translator on hold from the LINKcat catalog by clicking on one of the above named translators.
