Have you ever needed to find a train station but been afraid to reveal your tourist identity with that cumbersome phrase book?  Or ordered what you thought was a noodle dish, only to be served chicken feet?  Next time you’re speechless in a foreign destination, the Lingo Navigator could be the answer to your translation woes. 

Travelers who don’t speak the language can blend in with the locals by consulting this palm-sized international dictionary featuring twelve different languages.  In the center, a dial scrolls through and audibly translates over 9,000 phrases and 30,000 words, much like the menu on an iPod.  Because of this, the Navigator requires extra time to search for a desired term or sentence, and users should not expect to have instant lingo-help in case of emergency. Additional features include visitor information on the countries represented by each language, metric and currency converters, an alarm clock with world time, and even a hangman quiz game.  The Lingo Navigator won’t just prevent tourists from paying an outrageous price for knockoff shoes—it could also help linguistically-challenged explorers retain words and phrases that will accompany them on future journeys around the globe.
