Summer has its own rigor when it comes to preparing the mobile phone: taking care of the terminal to avoid being affected by high temperatures, using apps like Waze to carefully prepare our ground transfer to the resort to get the best possible travel, and if traveling abroad, be careful to always be connected to data rates and roaming, and of course, If you go to a country with another language, the Google translator cannot be missing from the phone. However Among what Google Translate offers is an option that I need to activate before traveling..

Google translator will always get us out of trouble: translate airport signs, know what to ask when looking at restaurant menus, don’t get lost if you rent a car, don’t mutter a few words while buying souvenirs… if things go well, but sooner or later mishaps happen: a flat tire, a bus that doesn’t arrive, a reservation that doesn’t arrive, or worse, having to go to the hospital for a health emergency. It doesn’t matter if you pronounce it better or worse at those moments, you want to write your message, have it translated instantly and be understood by the other person.

There is a winning combination that comes to the rescue in these real times of stress: Google Translate to translate and the data rate to use it. Yes, sometimes there is Wi-Fi, but we won’t always be in cafeterias, hotels, shopping malls, or the airport, where there’s usually a wireless network to connect to.

AND in terms of coverageI generally have more to go through a tunnel in Spain, but it’s not my first or last time going camping at a rural campground (I’m looking at you, cool nights in Soria) and I’m discovering that coverage goes from time to time. I didn’t have much trouble if I ran out of coverage in Soria but if I had to in Morocco or Thailand, that’s it.

So before I go on vacation, that’s what I always do download the language in question to use it offline: This is how I heal in the face of bad coverage or other setbacks. But if you haven’t already, take advantage of a good Wi-Fi and open the Google translate app on your mobile.
