The Globili app is a [translation system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poptranslate) designed specifically for resorts and theme parks, counting [Disney World's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-genie-service) four theme parks among its many clients. The free app provides [professional translations for signs and menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/babelphone), offering over 100 languages for everything that it translates.

For the most part, using the Globili app is incredibly easy. All users have to do when they want a translation is to open up the app when they are standing near a sign or in a restaurant with a foreign menu. The app documents GPS coordinates when it creates a translation, so users will automatically and immediately get translations in their preferred languages when they encounter a sign. If the sign or menu hasn't yet been translated, users just snap a picture of it with their smartphone through the app, and Globili's staff will take care of the translation shortly.
