Also google translate makes mistakes when any type of script, or handwriting is used vs a known or standard typeface.

What I was hoping for was a live translation tool, like google translate, where I can point the camera at something and then see translation and context (whatever I've prompted for), appear on the screen in real time.

I guess that tool doesn't exist, technically.
In the US, Google translate (the app) has had this feature for many years (long before ChatGPT even existed). I've been using it for at least 5 years. I find their translations (mostly Swedish, Finnish, Dutch, Portuguese, German, Chinese, Thai) to be pretty good. I suppose one could do this with AI too, but I don't have a use case. It's actually interesting to watch G Translate work through something it sees live, you can see a bit about how it thinks about it before overlaying the text in your chosen language.
