In short

Tabifuda - Travel Phrasebook is a point-and-show phrasebook for travel, with 200 phrases in Korean, English, Taiwanese Mandarin and Simplified Chinese. Travelers can show large cards to a listener, who answers by tapping a reply or typing a number, and the built-in phrases work offline. One thing that stands out is that the trouble and medical situations sit at the top of the home screen.
