Commonly used phrases
The main function of the Partner® UT-203 is to act as a
replacement for an interpreter in such everyday situations as
registering at a hotel, shopping, visiting the bank, etc. You simply
choose the appropriate phrase from the list or say it in English or
Russian and the device will pronounce its translation in the
selected language. The UT will make your communication with
foreigners easy and enjoyable. Welcome to the Topics section!
