Interpreter Live card recommended for gap year travellers by Cheap Flights Booker UK

Travellers who may have missed out on university places this year and are planning gap year getaways instead have been encouraged to consider using a pre-paid translation card from Interpreter Live.

The company pointed out that language barriers can sometimes turn "minor travel problems into major issues" for people exploring foreign countries.

Holders of Interpreter Live"s translation cards, which are available from £20, have access to a telephone interpretation service which covers more than 200 different languages and runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Users call a UK number to be connected to a translator who can act as a go-between, passing messages between the traveller and the local.

Lee Mears, creator of Interpreter Live, said the service can provide peace of mind for parents and gap year adventurers alike.

He added: "We all hope that trips abroad will go smoothly but the reality is that should you need medical treatment, get lost or run into trouble with the local police, it can often be extremely difficult to communicate and adds a lot more pressure to an already stressful situation.

"By carrying an Interpreter Live card, the language barrier can be overcome and most problems can be solved quickly and effectively."

Travellers can use a pre-paid card that is valid for 12 months or create an online account which their parents can top up for them.
