Nokia’s camera phone shoots and translates foreign text on the fly

Nokia seems to be preparing a killer app for its mobile phone, which is a language translator that allows you to snap shot a picture of foreign text and the cellphone will then automatically translate the captured text for you.

Having this translation software app loaded on your Nokia cellphone definitely makes it a more convenient gadget for you, especially bringing it along while you’re traveling across various countries. The software tool is not yet to be released, but the app was shown off at CTIA.

Currently the translation app is capable of translating Chinese to English only. Hope to see Nokia will make more language translation options with this killer app. And hope to see some new Nokia phones will surface the market soon with this cool translation app loaded.
