English to Vietnamese
-
I am saving for next years holiday to Vietnam. I would like to know if there is an application where I can type in an English Phrase, and the computer will turn it into Vietnamese. I need to explain, I know there are English-Vietnamese translations available, but I cannot read Vietnamese and the various accents and tildes and circumflexes are a mystery to me. What I am after is something that will Say Out Loud In Vietnamese what I type in English. I have googled and have had zero luck.

Complete waste of time, a bastardised form of english is spoken in most areas where you are likely to travel. Other than trying to be polite to a host country you will almost certainly not need it to get around. Unless you are travelling really low style (bike or local bus or hitching) you probably won't need it. Like a lot of the rest of Asia you will be viewed as a walking wallet, treated well and expected to pay. If you accept that then you can have a great time. I found Vietnam one of the most aggressively commercial places to travel in, Indonesia and India being the absolute epitomy of grab the money. Vietnam is a great place to go, some fascinating places, we are going to central Vietnam next month for 4 days.

I know, but pronunciation please? I want a TALKING translation, there are machines you can buy that do it, but they are hundreds of pounds and I want something I can download to my netbook.

I am pretty sure you can get a Vietnamese translator who weighs under 100 pounds, who can also carry your notebook for you. :-D

As you're English what you really need is a text-to-loud-slow-English converter, yes?

I have my wife for that! Actually I have discovered a lot of Vietnamese speak French, so I should be ok. Else that or I will have to learn Vietnamese, but that shouldn't be too hard, it is based on Cantonese.

Is there any continent you have not been to?

Not if you already speak a little Cantonese! :)

Antarctica, but that is in the early planning stage. Roughly... London -> Buenos Aires -> Punta Arenas (Patagonia) -> Ross Ice Shelf -> South Pole (US Antarctic Base). (Cost is likely to be about £30,000 so I need to plan, save, get some sponsorship)

Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots. -- Robert Royall
