As it’s the holiday season again i would strongly urge you to not buy a iPhone in China. The story goes, the father of a member off the forum of Macrumors is already reporting very well made cheap imitations. His father brought back 3 iPhones from China. Once the member received it he was trying to get them synced with iTunes, but iTunes didn’t recognize the iPhonies. After some testing the user opened a new thread on the forum to ask for some help.
iJiang: English to Chinese phrases for everyone.
iJiang is the latest project from wahkiz, a developer on the modmyifone.com community.
iJiang if said in chinese, sounds alot like “love to talk”. And that is the whole point of this app. Foreigners travelling in China will find it hard to converse with the locals there as they are mostly mandarin educated. This app provides the essential chinese phrases for everday speech.
It also provides pronunciation that is closely related to english words rather than the official pinyin format, making it easier for foreigners to master the pronunciation of chinese phrases.
So far the official statement of the developer.

I played a with the app, but to be honest learning Chinese is not really something i have time for. But if i ever want to learn chinese, i will get back to using this little app.
So how does it work?
Star the app, go to the library in the mmain menu to download your library of Chinese characters directly from within iChinese.de.
