Ectaco 500AL Oxford Multi-Language Electronic Translator Review

This translator comes with about 37 language pairs already installed on a Micro SD card that comes with it. The Ectaco website makes it seem like the translator can access all the languages at will, but that isn't possible. You can only use one language pair at a time (e.g. English to Spanish, English to Tagalog, etc). To switch to another language pair you must use go into the settings and choose "replace language pack". This lets you access the languages on the SD card and then you choose the next language pair you want to use. Then it takes between 5-10 minutes for the translator to load the corresponding languages and dictionary. This is very lame in my opinion. The user manual doesn't make this very clear and neither does the Ectaco website. In fact, I returned the first translator I ordered because I thought I received the wrong model, since you can only see the English to Vietnamese dictionary when you first turn on the translator. I ordered again from another seller and the same thing happened again. It took a little bit of messing around to realize I had to do the "replace language pack" function to change it to the English to Spanish dictionary like I wanted.

I haven't used the translator much yet, but there does seem to be an extensive vocabulary and many common phrases installed for the various languages. I think the translator will suit my needs overall, but I'm just disappointed I can't access all the languages on the fly. I only cared to have Spanish and Tagalog on the translator. Unfortunately, I can only access English-Spanish or English-Tagalog separately. I can't look up the word in Spanish and then in Tagalog. You must load the other language for 10 minutes to access the other language, which is very inconvenient. Ectaco is guilty of false advertising with this product.
