iTranslate
iTranslate is one of the most popular translation apps in the world, with more than 51,000 reviews on iTunes — most of them rated four and five stars. The app can translate around 100 different languages and has a special version for Apple Watch, allowing you to translate “on your wrist” whenever needed. The basic app is free, but the Pro version for $39.99 per year (or $4.99 per month) includes offline mode, website translation, voice translation, and verb conjugation.

TripLingo
If you want to feel like a local abroad, TripLingo will help you sound more natural and easily adapt to the local culture. Download the app on your smartphone, choose your destination, and download the required package. For example, during a trip to Spain, you can use a voice translator that translates your speech into Spanish, an image translator, and a selection of key Spanish phrases. The app is available for free on iTunes and Google Play, while the Pro version ($39.99 for three months) includes even more phrases and content.

Papago
This app specializes in Asian languages. Papago translates from Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, French, Vietnamese, Thai, and Indonesian. Translations are available in both text and voice formats. Real-time translation with local residents is available, as well as photo translation, a dictionary, and a phrasebook. Free on iTunes and Google Play.

Waygo
Waygo translates only from English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, but it can be a real lifesaver if you are left without Wi-Fi, as it works completely offline. It works best with the camera — simply point it at a text and you will see the translation on your phone screen. Food lovers will appreciate Waygo because you can point your camera at a menu and understand what you are ordering. The app also helps with pronunciation if you need to say something in a foreign language. Available for free on iTunes and Google Play.

iTranslate Voice
With iTranslate Voice, you can communicate in more than 40 different languages. The app includes useful ready-made travel phrases and a special voice translation feature. Simply speak into your phone, and your voice will instantly be translated into the selected language. You can also export, copy, and share transcripts of voice conversations, as well as save your favorite phrases in your personal phrasebook. Available for free on iTunes and Google Play.
A business trip abroad is not only about meetings with foreign colleagues and business partners, but also an opportunity to learn a new language, expand your vocabulary, practice pronunciation, and make new connections.
