Google Goggles Can Now Translate Foreign Text From a Picture [Android]

Now there wont be need of human transltors!!!!!!!

Older post:

Hope this translates Japanese kanjis so it can make the scanlations groups life more easy ^^

At the Mobile World Congress, Google CEO Eric Schmidt showed off a new prototype of Google Goggles — Google’s experimental Android visual search application — that can translate text captured in photos.

If it's like any other translator, it's gonna produce much crap. :3

Cool idea though.

Well it certainly looks interesting, and It is indication of things to come.
Still, I doubt itl be flawless translation, at least not anytime soon.

Id love to cheat in school with it though...

Hmmm would be really useful if say... you needed to find a place and the signs are all in some language(and the guide book says nothing about those). Or if you're lost and unsure which road or bus service to take.

I bet it only translates really basic and general stuff. It won't be translating any deep and complex sentences...You're always gonna need a human translator at least in this centuray to do the more complex things. 😮

I believe in letting people do as they wish, as do I myself. Sometimes, of course, what I wish to do is kill them and they do not wish to die. This gives life interest.

Online translators suck. I don't see why this won't suck. Cool concept, but until they perfect translations then I'll pass on this.

The fact that machine translation will never reach the same level as human translation hasn't stopped millions upon millions of people from using services like Babelfish and Google Translate every day.

In the end, this is just another step to Google's world domination.

People use online translators for quick translations, personal use 99% of the time.

Otherwise, screw online translators.
