Google Translate now provides live translation of Japanese text techcrunch.com

Google Translate could already translate Japanese text into English from a captured photo, but now the app skips a step, letting you point your camera at signs, menus and other things that might contain printed Japanese words, and get a translation to English on the fly (and vice versa). The feature is available via Word Lens in both the iOS and the Android versions of the Google Translate app.

I am a big fan of this. There are many times I travel and can't read signs or words properly. I am not fluent in Japanese and while I do know some, a lot of things I end up reading wrong. I am really loving Google's new technology lately!

I am going to have fun playing with this! I had an app a few years back that said it did the same but I know it wasn't working. I wasted $5 on it. haha This though, I love how you just use your camera and it translates it like nothing. Very useful!
