Thanks.
Would assume camera generated data without some form of OCR would be problematic. I always recommend finding the text in another format (signs, etc. are often available via Google searches, and then copy and past the text into the Google Translate App.

The key is the text in text data format. After that options abound with Google leading the pack for travelers IMHO.
