Anyone know where to buy a good electronic translator? One that outputs pin ying as well as speaks. I read that it is best to buy one outside of China as the ones here are for Chinese learning English. Can someone give me a make, model and location to buy? Perhaps in Macao of HK.
Thanks

I have looked for such a translator but couldn't find one. I ended up buying a cheap PDA and using this program instead.

I have a Franklin Model
I have a Franklin Model #TGA-490. It translates words and several thousand pre-defined phrases. It translates 12 languages including Chinese and Portuguese. If you enter English it gives you the pinyin and Chinese character. If you enter pinyin it gives you the Chinese character and its English translation. It is a pretty decent tool.

The Lingo Pacifica Talk is
The Lingo Pacifica Talk is very useful. Has Pin yin and Hanyu, speaks and has other useful features. I carry it when ever I go to China. When I fail to communicate using my basic Mandarin, I often just show the word to the other party. It is small enough to carry. Cost about $180 on Ebay
