South Africa, the amazing country I live in, has 11 official languages, including Afrikaans—which I can muddle my way through speaking. However, I often struggle with it, and that inspired me to create an app to help with a phrase book that translates English to Afrikaans and back again!
I see real value in this on a tablet for people visiting South Africa on holiday, as they can quickly find out what "jou ma se..." means—though I usually recommend ducking when that phrase comes up.
While I did some initial planning for this app (finding content, prototyping UIs, etc.), most of the work was done at the recent WowzApp event, an event aimed at students (though we had professionals and even a 13-year-old participant).
