Suggestion for translator app for iphone

Google Translate

Another vote for Google Translate

Yep, Google Translate worked well for me in Denmark last month.

I'm also looking for something. What about an app that translates printed matter? I know they are out there. I've got an iPhone, any apps for that.

I find google translate makes too many mistakes, you have to be careful.

I have to concur with the others. Google Translate works really well with menus and even better in grocery stores. It may not be 100% perfect, but you can get the gist of the translation and understand what you are ordering. The picture mode is very easy to use as they have made improvements. It does have a tough time with handwritten menus because the cursive is hard to decipher.

It may make mistakes, but it's demand impressive, and the best there is. Even high-level bilinguals rarely get translations 100% perfect.

I would also suggest Google Translate as it works reasonably well and is being improved on a regular basis. However as others have noted, it doesn't always do a perfect translation and I can confirm that from personal experience. I had an opportunity to test it fairly extensively in Italy a few years ago, and found that it sometimes gets the translation close, but sometimes it's completely wrong.

The app has a camera button which seems to work reasonably well to translate written content.

You may need online access (ie: a data plan) for some languages, but Google does have offline versions which can be downloaded for some languages.
