This multitalented machine replaces no fewer than 153 bilingual dictionaries for travel to over 140 countries, provides useful information in the gastronomical and automobile domains, and is anything but tight-lipped when it comes to word forms in all the available languages. This handy mobile translator can be retrofitted for additional languages and is elegantly accommodated in a black flip protector.
Regional language packages Traveller SC comes with smart cards, each of which contains six languages, which in turn are available in four different regional variants. For example, the “south” version speaks German, English, Greek, Turkish, Italian and Portuguese, whereas the “west” variant can prove helpful for (among others) French, Spanish, Italian, and Dutch.
