#2Good ol' wlue. This is one of the few apps I continuously suggests to my friends.
I'm a lover of languages, but it can be really daunting to go to a new country, even though it's the best way to learn.
Mantaphrase breaks down that barrier.

#5That's very cool, well done! Though I actually laughed out loud thinking about the look you'd get from a french waiter if you pulled this out at a brasserie.

Which country did you try it in, Japan or China? I'm curious to hear how a use of this actually turned out.

#8I really like the concept/look of this app, here's hoping an Android version [1] materializes.
"From those visits, we had 3,200 users initiate 13,000 conversations powered by Mantaphrase."
Somehow, I'd have expected more conversations per user. Any insight as to how many casual versus frequent users you've ended up with?

#9Doesn't Google's Translate app already do this?

Does Mantaphrase work offline? I think Translate requires a data connection.
I can't really think of another use case, though.

What does it do that the google translate app doesn't?
