pocket translator
Portable language converter
A pocket translator is a small handheld electronic device that converts words or phrases between languages.
Early versions required typing input; modern ones often include voice recognition and text-scanning capabilities.
The term now also applies to translation apps on smartphones: I used my pocket translator to order food in Tokyo.
