IDEA: Lonely Planet translation software for Diamond/Pro

[johnp68]

I have noticed here in Australia that the Iphone can come with Lonely Planet translation software. Has anyone been able to come up with a Pocket PC compatible one that could go on our Diamond/Pro. I am writing it in here as the Iphone does share a couple of things with the Diamond/Pro although our Diamond/Pro to me and many of us are far superior to the Iphone. I believe language translation software would be a valuable contribution to our Pocket PC's. I have not come across any good translation programs and have found livingsoft or whatever its called and etaco to be not really very good. (Have never been able to get english-Thai translations on either my old TyTn II or my Touch Pro.) Lonely Planet has by memory up to 6000 phrases in it in many different toungues. With international roaming now more prominant and with more and more people travelling I think it would be a very valuable addition to those of us who only know the very basics of some languages and with JBlend on our phones it should not be too difficuld as a widget.

No Lonely Planet is a well known travel Guide which originates from Australia but has spread worlwide. They started up with Language translation Books and tapes (Audio Tapes) and now they have spread to mobile phone software which they have so far launched on Iphone (I know its on Aussie spec Iphones unsure if on other country spec yet) They have covered every English to Other language eg. english to French, English to Thai. It lso gives guides to overseas accomodation, restaurants etc. But the language idea would be tops as Overseas travel becomes more possible and with so many Phones/PDA's having ever increasing memory capacity it would be a very handy tool to have on ones Diamond or Pro.

Looking at your link firstbuddha, it is very simiar idea but there are many, many more languages translated on Lonely Planet.
