The Android application from Google has been updated with an a new feature which includes text translation.
The new text translation feature will work by taking a photo of a piece of text you want to translate with your Android phone camera and the smart application will then translate the text for you in English.
With holiday season just around the corner, this definitely proves to be a very useful application to translate signs, menus and other documents whilst abroad.Currently, the service offers translation in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish but no doubt Google will be working hard to increase the number of languages which will support the application.
At present Google Goggles application with text translation is only available on Android phones, but there is a hope that this smart and very useful app could be rolled out onto other applications.
