With its ability to turn any mobile into a fast translation device, Text Lang stands as the kind of tool that travelers always ought to keep in mind when they are in countries whose languages are strange to them.
The way Text Lang works is really simple. You (as the one who needs a phrase translated) have to add Text Lang to your list of contacts. From that point onwards, you simply send a message with the phrase to be translated to Text Lang. The message will be duly answered with a voiced translation that you can listen to yourself, or share with any foreigner you are talking to by handing him the phone.
As a service, Text Lang is provided free of charge. That is, standard text message and phone rates apply. But the company itself charges nothing for the service it is providing. You just add it to your list of contacts, send a SMS when you are pitched against any phrase you can not understand and that will be the end of it.
