[Gocamino] Electronic dictionaries

[Robert Spenger]

Phil,

It seems to me that the one big advantage that an electronic  
dictionary would have would be to translate several languages with  
just one unit. I remember the nuisance of carrying dictionaries for  
both French and Spanish. Does the Franklin you mention have more than  
one language? If so what languages does it have? Also, does it use  
easily available power units, like AA cells?

regards,

Bob S.

I have a little Franklin electronic dictionary.  It cost ~ $40 to  $50.
Although it isn't designed to compete with large dictionaries, it   
does quite
well.  Using the electronic dictionary, one can  translate some verb  
forms much
easier than using a paper  dictionary.  After practising a while, it  
is very
efficient and  easy to use.   My only reservations are that it is  
electronic,
somewhat fragile, and batteries run down.  It is clearly a matter of
preference, but I would definitely take it with me.
