Langie S2

Langie S2 is described by the manufacturer as a handy, two-way translator device. It offers 53 languages online & 13 offline. The translator also features a SIM card that provides about 500 MB of data in 150 countries. The package lasts 10 years or until you run out of data. But, let’s be honest here, 500 MB is not that much…

We can also see that the device includes a group interpreter feature, which allows you to link multiple Langie devices through a Wi-Fi network. The manufacturer writes it’s especially useful for foreign delegations. But what if you’re the only the person in the group that has the Langie S2 device? Then this feature won’t be of any use to you.

However, what’s most interesting is that this device has the voice search feature. Thanks to this, you can say what you’re looking for and Langie will display its image. This can be very helpful. On the other hand, the screen is small, so the output may not be clear enough.

All in all, the device seems to work just fine, but 500 MB of Internet is just not enough. This means that you will need to top the SIM card up a couple of times a year. Even though the manufacturer says 500 MB is an equivalent to 10 000 conversations, we think it may be a bit of overstatement. Also, when it comes to the languages, 53 seems like a small number nowadays.
