Translating chat-up lines on the go

Ttext2insure, a UK-based company that sells travel insurance via SMS, claims more than one in four UK adults have had a romantic fling with a non-English speaking person whilst abroad, reports Finextra.

"This research has been conducted to support the launch of the company's new translation service, which promises to translate a number of key words and phrases and text them to individual's handsets in a matter of seconds.

The service can translate into five key languages - French, Spanish, German, Italian and Dutch. Some of the chat-up lines include: 'you have beautiful eyes', 'would you like to have dinner with me', 'what would you do if I kissed you right now?' and - for those with an important deadline to meet - 'do you have a condom?'
