  • Abstract
    This Mobile Language Translator is an application to translate from English language to Bahasa Malaysia (Malaysia´s National Language) and vice versa and English language to Bahasa Indonesia and vice versa. It provides categories of commonly used words and phrases. As such, tourists can rely on mobile phone for traveling purpose. The application, such as, mobile dictionary is used for word search and many more applications for a better traveling guide. This application is intended to overcome the language barrier among tourists, who are visiting our country. Subsequently, by using this application they are able to integrate with the local people and get the right information. There are many different hardware components found in mobile devices so their applications are developed using different software architectures. It is made more difficult because users of mobile applications have diverse preferences, so extensive improvements to traditional system development methodologies are required in order to keep up with this demand.
