Franklin TG 450-insufficient,
Unfortunately, you can’t find even some easy words though you can find some advanced words sometimes.It’s interesting. I entered 10 normal words and unfortunately it couldn’t find all of them but half of it.The possibility to find the word is around 50%.So, it’s not so useful for a researcher.You have to look up half of the words again sometimes.
But, for travel purposes and some daily phrases it’s ok.and 12 language feature is great. I wish this product contained more words.

|I LOVE this thing!,
We have a girl from Russia staying with us this summer and this thing has been invaluable! I really am surprised that some others have given it a bad review. I’d say 95% of the words that we have looked up have been found. It is a great little tool that is very easy to use. Anyone considering buying a translator should seriously consider this. It is a great buy!

|Franklin TG-450 Review,
On the face of it, a brilliant idea. Unfortunately, this device is utterly useless as a translator from a language which generally does not classify nouns by gender (e.g. English) to one that does (e.g. French).
The gender is of course, part of the noun. The TG-450 gives only a partial translation ie no gender. The implications should be obvious to any student of language.
I find it amazing that a supposedly reputable company like Franklin should market a product with such a glaring deficiency.
For non-English speakers it might be slightly more useful, but not much. For example, many French nouns are dual gender. Maybe the TG-450 can differentiate between `le cave’ – meaning `idiot’ and `la cave’ – meaning `basement’. I didn’t keep my long enough to find out. The fact is, it is not a translator but an overpriced and useless gimmick. Buy a pocket dictionary.
