Bixby Vision might score improved AR live translation feature, could debut on Galaxy S9, S9+

Similarly to Google Translate's photo translation functionality, users will be able to simply fire up Bixby Vision, point it at foreign text, and have Samsung's smart assistant automatically translate it and replace the original text with the help of augmented reality. It would even try to match the correct font, the rumor says. This sounds awfully similar to what Google Translate does. 

Still, there is one improvement that will help Samsung overtake Google in this live translation business. See, currently both Bixby and Google Translate's live camera translation requires you to download and manually select what language you want to translate from and this could be a real problem if you're not able to identify it in the first place. While thereare no indications that Bixby Vision's rumored translation feature will work the same way, Samsung could get a leg up if it allows the assistant to automatically detect the language it's looking at and have it translated to the target language without requiring the user to identify it.

This would be quite useful, would you agree?
