So apparently google translate, available for free from the play store, is capable of doing real time language augmented reality translation of foreign language text you point your cellphone camera at.

Demo video

I've been playing with it, doing google image searches for street signs in foreign language, watching it translate them on my phone. What you see in the demo video is apparently what it actually does.That's not extensive liberties taken with photoshop. And of course, it also does voice translation, but that's not super new. I hadn't seen the visual AR aspect until just now.

Did everyone already know about this? Because apparently this is almost a year old now. I've played with a couple AR apps, but this is actually useful, and I haven't seen that in AR until now.

I've used it before, it helped somewhat for figuring out how to use a Korean postage machine thing

I haven't actually used it, but I have a Belgian friend who uses it quite a bit, since his English isn't the best.
