iTranslate, Free

For French 101 dropouts and those who just need a little extra help abroad, iTranslate can serve as that digital crutch that lets you hobble through a foreign country. It uses Google’s translation software to translate between over a dozen different languages, from the frequently used ones like Spanish and German to more obscure tongues like Catalan and Latvian. As Google Translate vets can attest, it’s not perfect, but something is better than nothing, ja?
