The future is <a href="http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2010/05/translate-real-world-with-google.html">here</a> — Google Goggles v.1.1 for Android 1.6 and higher can now read and translate English, French, Italian, German and Spanish language text.</p> <p>The Google Goggles translation feature is pretty simple to use. Simply point-and-shot a word or phrase by drawing a box around desired text and snapping a photo. Should Google recognize the text, you can then select the translate button and define the source and destination languages for translation.</p>
