Oh you want a physical, stick it in your pocket device that will do it?

My friend who came from China has one, but it was like $550...

not only that but babelfish is quite possibly the worst thing to use.

I guess if you only need a word or so it's fine, but if you get into a normal sentence with subject, verb, object and/or adjectives then you'll get a very screwed up sentence.

I don't know of one, but once school starts I'm sure I could find out. I see a ton of asian students walking around with those things.

If you can write a computer program that can understand a languages, translate them into a concept/idea and then produce the same concept/idea in another language, then go right ahead, until then, I'll stick to babelfish for what little translation I need to do.
