DISCLAIMER
* As of December 1, 2011 the Google Translate option will no longer give translations. This is due to a decision by Goggle to completely shut off the free translation service to all third party applications on that date.
* If the live camera mode is hard to use, the refresh rate can be set to "none". Tapping on screen gives instant translation.

* Works best with clear images and good contrast, black text on white background and regular printed characters.
