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.

* On devices without a camera it can only look up album photos.

* This app is over 30 MB in size. iTunes or Wifi download is recommended.

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