Missing: allow taking a picture and sending it to a web service for OCR and translation..

Hmm.. imagining myself sitting in a restaurant in a sweet little cafe in Paris (where English is often ignored on the menu) and ordering myself something very French courtesy of Google…

Gives me a great idea for an American Express commercial:

1. Trip to Beijing – $2500

2. iPhone with translator app so you can feel confident when you ask for the nearest Starbucks in Chinese – $300

3. Asking for a “doubletallnonfatsugarfreesoydecafjavachipfrapuccinowithwhippedcream” once you get there… – priceless!

i can tell you the translation is pretty good (the one in the picture)
unlike a lot of other google translations i’ve seen…
