Business travel in English — Useful tools

Do you have to take a business trip to an English-speaking country and do you think that your level of English will not allow you to carry on with ease?

Don't worry. In this post we leave you with a collection of tools and tricks that can help you during your trip.

Google Translate

This is the best known app, because it is from Google and is free. Capable of detecting and Automatically translate more than 100 languages Both Ways by Text, Voice, images And Character recognition, covering more languages than any other.

They have recently introduced the ability to continuously translate what someone who speaks in another language says in almost real time.

Very useful, since it allows you to work offline. And this is important because of the high positions we can receive if we consume data with the company in our country of origin. Which usually have a high cost.

It also allows us to take a picture of anything with text, and it will detect it for us to translate it. Very useful for understanding what street signs indicate when we move from one side to the other, brochures, or paper documentation.

In addition, with the “iVoice” function for voice to voice translations, you can speak into the microphone and, after that, receive the Corresponding translation in real time in the selected language.

When it comes to making ourselves understood, we can rely on Google Maps to know about the areas to visit and not fall into explanations that we don't understand. The ideal is to pre-select before traveling, marking points of interest to save time and add security.

GateGuru

A very common theme is getting lost when you arrive at the airport and then having to make combinations. An extra help is to install GateGuru . The application finds everything you need: boarding gates (and updates changes in real time), waiting rooms, lounges, food areas, transportation between terminals and additional services.
