Lingtastic is translation on the cheap. We’ve all been there before—stuck in a foreign country trying to do the simplest task, whether it be getting the waiter to bring you the bill, transferring money from your bank, attempting to find a cab that’ll take you back to the hostel, and the list goes on. Or maybe you’ve procrastinated a little too long on that Spanish Cinema paper, and Babelfish isn’t exactly cutting it. Most of the services out there charge astronomical rates for tiny lines of text. An email can cost upwards of $20 or more. Chas, the creator of Lingtastic wanted to change this. Lingtastic guarantees that the customer will never be grossly overcharged. The pay rate is on scale with what the translator is paid. Sign up for an account and access translators for emails, text messages or locate an interpreter. Simply add credit to your account to get some translations. Lingtastic works with a normal phone line, Skype and GoogleTalk.
