    This’ll allow you to handle your transactions
    with ease in the native tongue rather than your
    previous pointing and gesturing method

    Handy little gadget but how much use will people put it to? I am old enough to remember the days before PC's. Electronic diary's and address books were all the rage at one time but were quite cumbersome in entering data.
    It was time consuming for little reward.
    I feel the pointing and gesturing will soon prevail if people come to see this as a similar gadget.

    I'd agree. But, I did see one of these used fairly successfully by a French Chef in a kitchen full of Spanish speakers. He was the boss, so he could point if he wanted, but because he tried to use the device, he got a lot of laughs and cooperation out of the workers. They were taking it from him to go from Spanish to French. Everybody had a good time.
