On my Iphone, I use iSpeak English/Spanish. With any translator that you use, none of them will be 100% accurate but this one has been pretty good. It will also speak the translation for you if you need that. Hope this helps. Buena suerte!

I love google translate too, it has a conversation mode that works pretty well.

Wifi worked well in my experience, but in addition to google translate, you might want to get Collins Dictionary as well (a little pricy though $24.99) since it doesn't require conneciotn to Internet.

Is there a decent one that requires no internet access? Ultralingua is a very good stand-alone English/Spanish dictionary. The PONS Compact Spanish dictionary is also pretty goog but I haven't found a decent translator.

Jibbigo doesn't require a wifi connection. You just speak what you want to say in English and then it will say and write the translation in Spanish. However, you might have trouble with the ambient noise levels in the SL and DR.
