TransPhraser is a spin-off website from GetTheSkill.com. GetTheSkill.com is a database with free online web courses in many different subjects (even though the focus is strongly on language courses). The idea of TransPhraser.com is for the visitor to be able, on one website, find the most common phrases you need to speak a certain a language. The goal is to have as many languages as possible posted here. Another aim is to have a very basic layout and color scheme for high readability and fast loading (you are supposed to be able to access the website on any web browser on any slow-speed internet café wherever you are in the world).

Thanks Yuliya (Ukrainian and Russian), Pawel (Polish and Mandarin), Barbara (Spanish and Japanese), Blazej (Czech and Hungarian), Marit (Norwegian), Clarissa (Philippinean), and Jaakko (Finnish) for helping out with translations!
