    This translator is horrible in my opinion. Maybe it is just really poor for the language I am trying to translate to and from, Korean. I typed in numerous words in English and Korean and it recognized a couple of them. I can understand the translator not being able to find every word you could think of, but I put in several very basic, everyday words. E.G. “Earth” came up as “Not recognized.” I typed in several Korean words from Korean publications I have and it did not recognize any of them. Supposedly this translator has 400,000 words. I don’t know how in the world it came up with that number. The keypad is excellent, very easy to type Korean characters which are arranged by syllables very smoothly. There is also a very nice soft case included with this product. But the fact that it doesn’t hardly recognize any words makes these couple of features and the whole unit itself absolutely worthless. The way you switch ‘to’ and ‘from’ languages is incredibly clumsy and inconvenient as well. Needless to say, I would not recommend this translator to anybody and I doubt even getting another Franklin branded item because of this piece of junk.

    I ordered this translator, Franklin FR-TBG12 Global Translator, for my daughter and I to share. I already have the Franklin FR-TJS12 12 language European translator, which works really well, and the price was great, but I wanted a global translator that would work in other countries. The FR-TBG12 has a bigger screen than my other translator and the buttons are spaced apart more so there’s less errors when typing, but it doesn’t work correctly. It’s supposed to toggle between your source language and your target language when pressing the translate button, like the FR-TJS12 does, but it does not. So, I’m sending it back and replacing it with another. Hopefully it’s a malfunction only in the one I bought and not in all of them. If the new one doesn’t work, I’ll be sending it back as well and you can count on a review stating that fact.

    Don’t use as much ask had hoped. Directions are typical of those written in an eastern language and translated by a person whose primary language is not English. Need to carry instruction sheet with you to use this item.
