iTranslate has been wildly popular on the iPhone, and now it’s available for the Kindle Fire, too! Right now, not only is it FREE, but you’ll get a $1 credit toward the purchase of Amazon MP3s when you download iTranslate, as well. iTranslate is very well-liked by users also, and has an average review rating of 4.5/5 across 318 reviews.
You can’t use the app’s ability to “hear” and translate spoken language, because the Kindle Fire doesn’t have a microphone, but you can have iTranslate translate from one of over 50 languages into another language, view the text translation, and have the Fire “read” the translation aloud!

Reviewer Ethan A. Winning says:
I have several acquaintances who speak English minimally, and I unfortunately, speak no other language (even after 7 years !!! of HS and college French and German). Two of my friends speak German and Spanish, while my one friend in France has great difficulty with English. I can put in any phrase in the app, and get the written AND spoken translation from English to more languages than I knew existed. I can’t wait until I run into my German speaking zoologist friend and ask him if he’s seen any alle schwarzen Schwanz Rehe? Of course, I’m going to have to practice for several hours pronouncing “alle schwarzen Schwanz Rehe,” but you never know when a black-tailed deer might have come along. Oh, my friend from Honduras will probably faint dead away when I ask, ¿Has visto alguna chupasavias amarillo vientre? unless, of course, he’s just seen a yellow-bellied sapsucker.
