Review of Franklin 16 Language Translator,
1. The English to Spanish audio in many of the phrases is garbled to the extent I can’t understand what is being said. A Spanish speaking friend also had difficulty understanding many of the phrases. My friend also found errors with some of the translations.
2. In many instances, my Spanish speaking friend states the delivery is much too fast to the extent those fluent in Spanish will have difficulty understanding the translation.
3. The above substandard performance qualities are inconsistent with the high quality associated with Franklin products. It doesn’t meet their own specifications and certainly does not meet my expectations.
4. Complaint to Amazon has not been addressed by neither Amazon nor XcessBuy.

Fun,
This is a fun little phrase book. My son and I have been having fun comparing the languages on this. However, the Japanese is somewhat muffled, and cut-off in places. This is not a problem if you can read the translation. I thought there would be more phrases in it, but all in all it is a good little device.
I do wish it had a way to input what I would like to translate, but that is not how this device works.

Limited Options!,
My daughter wanted a pocket translator and I eagerly ordered this device. Unfortunately, it only translates phrases and nothing else. I wanted a more detailed product. It arrived on time and as promised but the product itself was a bit deceptive in its “advertisement”
