When it comes to learning the local language as a visitor in a foreign country, it's not easy. Everything requires an understanding of the local language, from reading signs to being overcharged while buying, booking cabs and hotels for their stay, sightseeing, and communicating with the locals. Nowadays, almost everyone owns a smartphone, which has proven to be the most useful instrument for traveling. We want to create an Android application that can translate text, speech, and textual information written on signboards from one language to another. For signboard translation, users will need to use their smartphone camera. For language translation, we are using a hybrid machine translation approach. Recognition of text from images is done using digital image processing. The goal of this project is to minimize the likelihood of any single component failing. To reduce miscommunication between tourists and locals, a machine translation approach is being used.
