Results with machine translation will vary from pretty good to really wrong. The apps design for mobile use cases, including live translation of audio and translation of text in mobile camera photos via character recognition, is undeniably very forward thinking. A large number of languages are supported. Google Translate cant compete with a human translator for nuance, context, or accuracy, but its free, fast, and might be good enough for some uses in the field if user expectations are realistic.", }
