The Samsung Galaxy S4 is a smartphone that transcends borders and breaks down language barriers.
This is made possible by the superb S Translator app that comes pre-installed with the Galaxy S4.
Capable of translating dozens of widely spoken international languages in real-time, including French, Spanish and Chinese – S Translator is the perfect companion to help in your travels abroad.
Whether you're going on holiday or a business trip, S Translator helps you out in those inevitable stumbles with the local tongue.
Translating is as easy as typing out a word or phrase, which the app automatically interprets and displays in the bottom half of the screen.
To make conversations equally simple, S Translator also offers voice translation, so you can just speak what you want to say to the handset and S Translator will speak it out for you in the other language.
This is handy for any number of situations, be it responding to something you don't understand or even getting directions.
What's really great about S Translator, though, is that it works in tandem with another brilliant built-in application of the Galaxy S4 called the Optical Reader.
This allows you to scan text from a physical source – such as a book or a sign - using the S4's rear-mounted camera, and translate it on the spot to another language thanks to S Translator integration.
The Optical Reader also scans and translates individual words in real-time and provides an audio playback for the pronunciation for each word, and even gives you a definition of the word if you're not quite sure what it means.
With S Translator and Optical Reader on board, the Samsung Galaxy S4 truly makes communicating and understanding foreign languages as easy as pie.
