Simple and easy to use. Have used it in 4 different countries so far and found that people understand what I am saying.
Franklin TG-450 review January 11, 2006 34 out of 35 found this review helpful
On the face of it, a brilliant idea. Unfortunately, this device is utterly useless as a translator from a language which generally does not classify nouns by gender (e.g. English) to one that does (e.g. French).The gender is of course, part of the noun. The TG-450 gives only a partial translation ie no gender. The implications should be obvious to any student of language. I find it amazing that a supposedly reputable company like Franklin should market a product with such a glaring deficiency. For non-English speakers it might be slightly more useful, but not much. For example, many French nouns are dual gender. Maybe the TG-450 can differentiate between ‘le cave’ – meaning ‘idiot’ and ‘la cave’ – meaning ‘basement’. I didn’t keep my long enough to find out. The fact is, it is not a translator but an overpriced and useless gimmick. Buy a pocket dictionary.
A good product. February 9, 2005 22 out of 25 found this review helpful
This does what it says easily and without fuss, instructions a little vauge but with common sense you can muddle through.If you ae looking for a translator then consider this one as the price is good and it has many functions, the currency exchange setting is useful too.
