Translation technology has advanced so much that a new app has been developed that is able to translate words in real time from one language to another, it is called Word Lens. Word Lens is an app available in the App Store and Google Play, and it uses the camera on your smartphone to capture the text and replaces the words with a translation. It is a really cool concept and definitely an app worth checking out if only to just see how advanced and accurate the translations are.
One of my co-workers showed me the app and demonstrated how it works in real time and how accurate it is. It is not 100 percent accurate as to be is expected with this type of software. However, it is an interesting app to see in action. Check out the Word Lens link to see more information about the app and see a video demonstration of how it works exactly. It is not an app for translating documentation but more for short messages such as street signs if you're traveling in a foreign country or something similar. Overall, it is just a fun app for translators to take a look at.
