Abstract :
Mobile-based dictionary is become popular nowadays, and so as phrasebook. However, the dictionary or phrasebook available in Android market is just bilingual and does not support multilingual translation at once. This cannot fulfill the requirement from the users in this modern era. The result of translation is not satisfied as it cannot display multilingual at once. Therefore, the purpose of this project is to solve the dissatisfaction of users by develop an application named Multilingual phrasebook for android (MPA). With this application, users can learn and communicate in a short time. This application will benefit those who keen to learn different type of languages. Furthermore, no internet access is needed for the user to use this application. The methodology used to develop this application is Evolutionary Prototyping.
