DISCLAIMER

This app is intended for a couple of good laughs with your friends. We expect particular popularity under fans of Inspector Jaques Clouseau, the TV sitcom Allo Allo!, and Arnold Schwarzenegger (when he speaks). It is not a real translation program.

INTRODUCTION

Most people in foreign countries speak a foreign language. The problem with foreign languages is that almost every word is completely different from English, which makes them hard to understand. This app provides you with a collection of essential phrases in pseudo-French, pseudo-Italian, pseudo-Germand and pseudo-Dutch. These pseudo-languages are very easy to learn for native English speakers, and can be understood by most foreigners with just a little knowledge of English. At the same time, it will help you understand a foreigner who tries to speak English to you. All phrases are speech-synthesized for your convenience, so your daily communication with the locals abroad only requires the push of a button. With the use of this app, your next journey to a foreign country will be a whole different experience!

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

If you want to say something to a foreigner:
- Tap the top bar and select your language by tapping the appropriate icon in the menu.
- Select the appropriate category with the icons at the bottom of the screen: Meet People, Air Travel, Hotel, Taxi or Restaurant.
