Best of all, Word Lens works without an Internet connection as all processing is performed directly on your device. Word Lens is pretty awesome: you just fire up the app and point your iPhone’s camera at a sign, menu or similar item to get an instant translation that’s overlaid on live video feed, often in exact typeface and style as the original sign. “With Word Lens now available in Japanese, you’ll never have to worry about taking a wrong turn on a busy Shibuya street or ordering something you wouldn’t normally eat,” remarked Google. That’s because its augmented reality feature, called Word Lens, has been updated to recognize Japanese content on photos and video. Bumped to version 5.5, the free download can now translate photos of signs, menus and similar items from Japanese to English, and vice versa. In addition to updating the Popular Times feature in Google Maps for iPhone and iPad with real-time data, the search giant also issued another noteworthy update, this one concerning its dedicated Translate app on App Store.
