When we plan a trip to another country or state we tend to forget about one of the major factors which will determine how our trip will ultimately end up. The language barrier. We plan our trips from A to Z. Researching all the places we have to visit. All the new cuisines we have to try but we forget that in a foreign land we are all alone and if we do not know their language then who will help us? How will we know which direction to go if we get lost? And after a tiring day when will finally sit to eat what will that menu printed in an alien language tell us? Huhh…too much trouble right? Well well, we are in the era of staying updated to everything. When learning a new language seems like a daunting task then go for a shortcut. Translation apps!
