Abstract—The world today can communicate in a wide dimension. There is a connection among groups of people of different races. One obstacle of the communication is the problem about language. Even though there are many courses in English language in Thailand, there are still a lot of Thai people who cannot communicate in English. The developer recognized this importance and decided to develop a tool which can help people (Thais and foreigners) connect. Android Mobile phones are widely-used devices and they have a lot of potentials in becoming an electronic dictionary (both Thai-English and English-Thai) so that android mobile phone users can look for words and translations. This way, Thais and foreigners can study, look up, understand, widen opportunities and reduce the gaps during communication. Programs and databases on android mobile phones do not need to be accessed online because users can look up Thai and English words on their own android mobile phones.
