Really, what I asked is if anybody has used a hardware translator device, and if they are any good. I'm going to take a deeper look at Google Translate as it will be an option too. But maybe not the only option.
Thanks.

I wonder how you'd cope if your hardware translator device breaks/ runs out of charge/ is lost? What about the phone for phoning if not it's up to the task of Alexander Graham Bell-y sort of stuff? Send smoke signals?
Maybe get a sextant and ride at night for celestial navigation instead of the hardware GPS? Sell the internal combustion engine vehicle and get a horse instead?
