Alta Vida LLC has announced Babelingo 1.2, their language translation utility for iPhone and iPod Touch. Containing more than 300 useful phrases and words, Babelingo is an incredibly fast and easy-to-use phrase book communicator, allowing anyone to show a professionally translated phrase to a foreign language audience.

Babelingo can translate to and from 9 different languages, including English, Spanish, Italian, French, German, Czech, Hindi, Japanese and Chinese. Each phrase is carefully translated by highly skilled professional translators and displayed in a large, beautifully rendered script that is easily read from a distance.

Each category, phrase, word, and screen can be presented in any one of the supported languages. The user chooses their native language, the alternative audiences language, and Babelingo does the rest. Phrases are grouped by category in a flat list for fast navigation. Simply tap a phrase and its translation is immediately displayed.

For commonly used phrases, users may add them to a favorites list for quick and easy access. Quickly search for phrases using key words. Hindi speakers can search for Hindi script using the English keyboard and phonetic spellings (Romanized Hindi). And Babelingo is more than a simple phrase book too. The application also enables two way communication by allowing the alternate party to navigate Babelingo in their own language and respond to requests, making it the perfect travel companion for both business and leisure.

Version 1.2 includes professionally translated phrases in the Czech and Hindi languages, and a recommended update. Customers who have a need for a specific language are urged to contact support so that it may be prioritized into a future release of Babelingo.
