Nokia recently showcased a cool new app for Nokia mobile phones. The app is named shoot-to-translate and it translates from Chinese to English by taking a photo of the Chinese text that you want to read. This is super handy for those frequent travellers who have no idea how to read the local language.
You won’t have to worry about flipping through some translation book. You’ll know quickly what it says. Though the application shows only Chinese to English translation, we are obviously going to see the ability to do more languages in the future.

RantNetwork is the leading global provider of mobile translation application. Users can translate 5 different ways with their mobile handsets. The COMMUNILATOR provides an over the air internet based service for: translatable text,Image,SMS,email and newly released Text2Voice! (Nokia has engilsh to chinese. RantNetwork provides over 20 language pairs). Not quite sure what the buzz is from Nokia. Its a limited product to a limited market. The COMMUNILATOR will soon become an industry standard!
