Google’s will announce the update to its Android app soon. The new feature should make it easier for language learners, travelers and businessmen to communicate with foreign language speakers. Besides, Google will reportedly launch a service to automatically translate foreign text into a native language on a smartphone, simply by pointing user’s device’s camera at, say, a street sign.
