Any cheap electronic Thai to English translators?
Ok, My youth group is taking a mission trip to Thailand. Now here’s the thing, I know very little Thai. I know there are electronic translators but we can only afford one up to about 75 bucks. Does anyone know any good deals or coupon codes we could use?
Never seen any that cheap. CyberDict and TalkingDict are the two market leaders in Thailand, pretty expensive, well over US$100 from the cheapest model at the outlets I have seen them.
I question how useful they are because 1) if you can’t type Thai you can’t use it to translate words you see, 2) you definitely can’t translate Thai words you hear, and 3) translating English to Thai is only a little bit useful unless you get one of the really expensive talking models that has a big database of common phrases
