If you’re a world traveler, then you know first-hand how difficult it can be to communicate with the natives.  Even something as simple as asking for the nearest restroom can be a hazard to your health – what are you supposed to do?  The potty dance in hopes that they understand you?  I think not!
You’re in luck, the iPhone “has an app for that!”  Now you can have a face to face conversation with anyone in the world by simply typing on your iPhone screen while the other party is instantly reading the translated version on the opposite side of the screen.  The best part is that they can in turn instantly reply back to you in real-time using the split-screen keyboard.   No more flipping thru pages of unnecessary phrases on a pocket-sized book when you can now cut to the chase and communicate instantly.
