I seen to recall an iOS app that translated on the fly. If you put text in the field of view of the camera, it read translated on your screen. I mean it changed it live. So if you held it up to a stop sign in English, and it was set to translate to Spanish, on your screen you'd see the same stop sign, but instead of stop it would say alto.
Or am I just remembering wrong?

You're right. Its an app called "Word Lens". It used to be iOS only, but a quick search revealed its now in the Google Play Store for $4.99 but they're is a demo version. Pretty good app.

Windows Phone has had this for a while with Translator (Bing-powered)... Good to see Google getting it, too
