English term or phrase: English<->Arabic Talking Dictionary & Travel Phrasebook
Please kindly advise me how to translate the following phrase into the Arabic language: EnglishArabic Talking Dictionary & Travel Phrasebook. As a hint, I can give you the following Arabic phrase.
قاموس ناطق إنجليزيعربي ومنظم مواعيد
I just would like to change "Organizer" to "Travel Phrasebook" in it. Remark: by "Travel Phrasebook" I mean a set of phrases useful for people who travel the world. I have a variant of translation:
قاموس ناطق إنجليزيعربي وجمل المحادثة
But I'm not sure if it is accurate enough.

معجم مفردات وعبارات مسافرين ناطق إنجليزي<->عربي
Explanation:
I am suggesting a change in a couple of words and in the word order because:

1. As I understand it, the modifier phrase "English<->Arabic Talking" applies to both the dictionary and the travel phrasebook;

2. The word معجم applies to both the "dictionary" and the "travel phrasebook." The only difference is that the former is organized around headwords, the latter around phrases or sentences; and

3. The "travel pharsebook" is not really about travel. It is rather to help travelers (or "travellers"), so I prefer مسافرين
