Tell me this isn’t cool:
In the video above, you’ll see how they use Goggles to take a picture of a German menu and instantly translate the text into English.
Via GoogleTranslate:
Right now this technology only works for German-to-English translations and it’s not yet ready for prime time. However, it shows a lot of promise for what the future might hold. Soon your phone will be able to translate signs, posters and other foreign text instantly into your language. Eventually, we’re hoping to build a version of Google Goggles that can translate between all of the 52 languages currently supported by Google Translate — bringing even more information to you on the go.
The world just got even flatter.
