Sometimes, we are so hard to find the meaning of words. Especially other languages that we are rarely use it all the time. This problem becomes one of the things that make us little bit hard to make a communication using another language with a native speaker. For example in using English language, a lot of words contain in English language especially in the international companies. The employee has capabilities to speak with English language. If we can speak an English language, we can’t work at the company then.
A lot of the documents, agreements, and so on contain with English language. English language becomes international languages. So we have to know how to use and speak English language very well. If we can’t speak and use an English language, we will face the difficulties to make a communication indeed and it makes a big problem for us if we can’t speak and use the international language.
But now, we have an alternative way to fix this problem. Nowadays, smartphones become one of the best media that we can use for almost anything such as playing games, communication, online, chatting and so on. Besides those applications that we can use with smartphones, we can use a new application to help us in finding the meaning of words. This application is called translator. We can use the application for Android for free. The application helps us to find the meaning of words that we don’t know what the meaning of the word is. We can find so many words that we want to translate to.
Kamusku
Today, we will try to review some dictionaries for Android that we can use all the time. We are going to the first application. The first application that we can use is Kamusku. Kamusku is one of offline dictionary applications both English - Indonesia and Indonesia - English. Kamusku has a lot of words that we usually find in daily communication in English or Bahasa itself.
Google Translate
If we can’t find the meaning of the word using Kamusku, we can try Google Translate to find it. Google Translate could help us to find the word that we barely find in daily activities. We can translate one word to 65 different languages around the globe. Google Translate has a lot of functions such as:
We can translate one word into 65 different languages in the world.
We can speak through the speakerphone to translate the word
We can take a picture of the word by using a camera to translate it.
We can hear the meaning of the word by spoken loud in the speakerphone.
We can use the feature called speech-to-speech translation to run the communication with others.
We can see the full translation on the screen.
We can use this application even though we didn’t use the internet access.
We can find the history of our activity with this application by using the internet access.
Not only one word that we can translate, but a view words can be translated in one time.
We can write down the word that we want to translate directly.
Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia
Besides Google Translate, last but not least, we can use KBBI or Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia in our smartphone to translate the words. KBBI is one of the best dictionaries in Indonesia and it is a legitimate dictionary in Indonesia. KBBI was released by government and it combines a whole Bahasa Indonesia. KBBI has 90.000 words that we can find in it. But we can’t find a slang word in it, because the dictionary only contains formal words.
