The Google Translate App

[transmaster]

Don’t know how many of you use the Google Translate app I use it to read Album covers that are printed in Japanese. The UI is well thought out below is an example. The way you use the app is you open your camera and bracket the text and take a picture, you can also use it on the fly with the live image on the screen. In the app you highlight the text with you finger and it does it. Than you move to the second page to read the full translation. It Translates into a bunch of languages, sadly it does not do Klingon. This app is a freebie.


Here is the full translation.

I use it from time to time for various sites.
I'm always afraid to start an international incident (it not quite conveying what I'm writing)

I use it occasionally for fun. I like that with the camera setting, it will mimic the font and colors.
I could see it being useful when traveling, but I have yet to use it in such an important way.
