Can't say it's terrible - can't say it's excellent.
I recently received my Europa.The purchase seemed prudent since I will soon be going to several Western European countries.I spoke Spanish relatively well (but certainly not fluently) at one point, but that was 15 years ago, and I have spoken very little of it since.It has started to come back to me after looking up words in the Europa, and hearing the translation.

I plan to add more to this review later, but I wanted to get it started.Since I haven't actually taken it on a trip yet, I probably have more cons at this point, than pros, but it does translate words into multiple languages, and it will "speak" them.

Pros:
1.The on/off button is protected by the partial cover. (The device shouldn't turn on accidentally - but if it does, it has a configurable auto-off setting, so it should turn off again.)
2.The Europa is attractive, just large/heavy enough to use comfortably, and still small/light enough to carry.
3.It takes 2AAA batteries and also a CR2032 (I believe) backup battery.(Don't change the primary batteries and the backup at the same time or you will likely lose your entered information.Always keep fresh batteries in this device.)
4.The device has a volume control.
5.6 character password protection for personal information entered into address book.
6.Setup was easy.


Cons:
1.The device has a partial cover, so some keys remain exposed. (But this is far better than having an unattached case to lose.)
2.The earbuds that shipped with the Eurpa were very cheap and had a bit of a short in them.(I pitched them, since I already have a much better set of earbuds.)
3.Surprisingly, with 8 metric conversions, this unit cannot convert km to m easily.The user must use a combination of the m to ft conversion and calculator. (Multiply km * 1000 using your brain, enter value into converter, remember number of feet, change mode, enter feet into calculator, divide by 5280, I believe, and voila --- miles.)
4.The partial cover latch seems odd. (Will the cover snag on something and break?)
5.When entering data into the address book, I found myself wishing the Esc key was much farther from the shift key, rather than adjacent to it, since inadvertently pressing Esc will clear the display when you have "typed" a bunch of info in and you will want to smash the device.(You may just want to lock the caps on and enter information entirely in capital letters.)
6.The page up/down keys are separated from the cursor keys.Sometimes it is confusing whether you need to use down or page down to see more information.
7.I discovered that since we are currently on daylight savings time right now, I needed to turn "Summer time" off, in order for the time to be listed correctly both for my residence location as well as for the locations I plan to visit.
8.The clarity of recorded speech leaves a lot to be desired.It is just clear enough that it is helping me to "re-learn" the Spanish I could speak at one point, but even after hearing some words in the other languages, I would be afraid to try to pronounce them in front of someone who spoke the language natively.
9.The device seems unable to translate phrases --- only words.So I think you're stuck with the canned phrases built into the unit, some of which are actually a bit useful.
10.You always want these things to "know" more words than they do.
11.Whoever wrote the owner's manual didn't know English well, but you can understand it.
12.Yes, it has a "QWERTY-style keyboard", but putting the backspace key to the left of the space bar is just plain odd.The bottom row just seems to have been filled with necessary keys that the unit just didn't have the proper width to accomodate in a more typical location.

Even with all the cons, at this point, I intend to keep the unit, and I also still intend to take it on my trip with me.

Clever little gidget, good for travelling
This is a clever and convenient thing to carry around, and has turned out to be useful for travelling. Although it is mostly word-oriented, it does have some phrases, such as 'How much does that cost?'

It doesn't have anywhere near the vocabulary of a dedicated single-language dictionary, so it is most useful for casual use. For example, I have a software version of the Collins German-English dictionary that has quite a large vocabulary and I use it quite often instead of carrying a thick printed dictionary.

But for casual use, reading menus, deciphering signs, and asking the hotel staff for help with leaky faucets, the Franklin device is perfect.

Great
It translate the major ones such as english, german, russian, sweden, and one more other one that i can't remember. ... Read more

Good for non-speaking travellers who don't like to type
A friend loaned me this cool device to use on a long trip to Mexico. It's great for translating individual words (such as menu items) without having to type on the small keyboard of other translators. You can usually get the gist of longer phrases but sometimes the results are quite amusing. Although this device doesn't have all the grammer tools of other portable translators, it is a good alternative for someone who is not a serious student of Spanish. ... Read more

Would have been lost without it
not to mention lonely. I went to Spain in 98 with the intention of "picking up" spanish. It wasn't quite that easy. As it turned out this little machine was my only link to what was familier: the english language. Also it was a lot of fun and helped break down the language wall. I took it back to Spain with me again in 99 and then to Mexico. I don't go anywhere without it. What I would like to see improved on is that the words aren't always the best translation for example: gafas tranlates to goggles while should be glasses at least that is what they called them in Spain. Also, the verb conjugation for it/he/she is the same but you have to go through all three, in other words two extra key strokes if you get my meaning. Also, the phrs (phrase) really isn't very heplful. But over all a very good product. I recommend it and I wish Sieko had one for Italian.

Seiko/Berlitz TR2720CS Spanigh-English Dictionary
I absolutely love this product. Switches easily from English to Spanish and vice versa. The advanced verb translator as well as the phrase/category buttons for different subjects is excellent. I only wish that Seiko/Berlitz made something similar in French! A+ on the product AND it's very small - convenient for a pocket or purse. (Does anyone know of anything like this for French?)

waste of money
I purchased this tool to help me in a Spanish class. The display is hard to read and there are no special characters. Overall it was a poorly designed piece of electonics.

O.K. for English to Spanish verbs, but not vice versa
This translator works very well in conjugating Spanish verbs. However; on Spanish to English it falls short. Its vocabulary for nouns and verb participals is not much better than much smaller and less costly devices.

a bit more than you would expect
My fiance and I received this 'toy' as a christmas gift last year because we were moving to Argentina. To be honest, we laughed, thinking it to be a rather useless item. However, upon arrival in Latin America, we discovered it to be an extraordinarily useful tool. We use it for everything from menu translations (honestly not its stong-suit, food is so regionally particular) to homework help for our Spanish lessons. It is easy, practical, pocket-sized, and surprisingly loaded.

There are only two things that would make this translator the ultimate: 1. some regional colloquialisms; 2. the inclusion of some conjugated forms of some of the more common verbs. ... Read more
