Gear: Ectaco iTravel NTL-9C
Golf travelers planning a trip somewhere more exotic than the British Isles ? say Spain or China ? might want to consider packing the NTL-9C. It?s effectively a personal, go-everywhere translator ? minus the per diem and tips. The base NTL-9C communicates in nine languages ? it can be upgraded to 50 languages ? and can translate 14,000 phrases. Just pick the language in which you want it to speak, ask a question in English and the iTravl will say it in the chosen language. It also contains a dictionary with 1.6 million entries.
