Glad this is on WP8. I use it somewhat frequently on my Lumia 900, especially when translating something for friends who don't natively speak English

Good, but still there aren't a lot of good apps. The best apps are on iOS.

i love the augmented reality part... i wonder if it has offline capabilities...? that would be awesome in places like cuba where internet is expensive and wifi is like an oasis in the desert

On my Lumia 900 it requires an internet connection for all translations, since it uses Bing as a search tool for the input. I am guessing the WP8 would be the same.

Finally! I was surprised when I was downloading my apps on my HTC 8X and couldn't find this... I had to find a third party Google powered app for my Spanish homework...
