Does anyone know of a great portable app for translating through your mobile smartphone. I heard BBtran is free and good.

iTranslate Oct 30, 2009

I downloaded an application called 'iTranslate' onto my iphone. It was free. It does an amazing range of languages. It says 'powered by Google' and it needs a internet connection to work. I only installed it out of curiosity but I was surprised by the quality of the translation when I tried it out. I have low expectations of this sort of application.
The review I just found wasn't too positive. I think those programmes are intrinsically flawed, but they can be fun.
