The personal translator implementations described herein provide a speech translation device that pairs with a computing device to translate in-person conversations. The speech translation device can be wearable. In one implementation the personal translator comprises a speech translation device with at least one microphone that captures input signals representing nearby speech of a first user/wearer of the device and at least one other nearby person in a conversation in two languages; a wireless communication unit that sends the captured input signals representing speech to a nearby computing device, and receives for each language in the conversation, language translations from the computing device; and at least one loudspeaker that outputs the language translations to the first user/wearer and at least one other nearby person. The language translations in text form can be displayed on a display at the same time the language translations are output to the loudspeaker(s).
