Anytime I’m traveling I use Google Translate to check translations in real time on signage. You have to see it to believe it. This is real and LIVE while you move your camera. @ ParisFolks just now getting hip to Google Translate’s advanced features. Check out this TWO WAY REAL-TIME CONVERSATION TRANSLATOR. (Not sure why the recording didn’t pick me up talking but I’m alternating Spanish and English in a fake convo)Here’s Bing Translator. It lets you flip the interface so you can put the phone on the table and each side can see what the other says! Universal translators aren’t perfect but they are amazing for travel and they are free today!
