aurfalien Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Hi,So I got this kit and the directions are in German 100%.I installed Google Translate on my iPhone and simply moved the camera over various directions and its translating em realtime.Picture using a magifying glass and seeing the words on page convert to a diff language.Ofcourse its got some contextual issues but all in all a very dandy and handy little app to have.
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Yes, I've used the online version a good bit, and it's pretty amazing...except for the syntax and context issues you mention...but still, it's a spectacular piece of work.
Brett Barrow Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) It's awesome, I've been playing with it for a couple months. It's like something out of a sci-fi show that I never thought would be possible in real life. I only wish it would do the live translate on Japanese (I have a lot of Bandai kits!), but fot that you have to snap a picture first. Edited October 20, 2015 by Brett Barrow
jeffs396 Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Is there anything a smart phone can't do? Can't build a model!
bobthehobbyguy Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Can't make the user smarter. In fact they have produced cell phone zombies.

aurfalien Posted October 22, 2015 Author Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Just search via the app store on your phone for Goolge Translate.Its free.The app store is an app as well. Edited October 22, 2015 by aurfalien

Harry Joy Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Hm, this must be why they discontinued "WordLens". That app was available up until a year ago, although the copy I downloaded still works. I have found it essential, as my wife is not a native English speaker and there is not much English in my household some days.
