Imagine being in a foreign country staring at a restaurant menu you can't comprehend, a waiter with annoyance tapping his foot at your tableside. You, a vegetarian, have no suggestion whether you're about to order spaghetti with meatballs or veggie pesto. What would you do? Well, ultimately you might be able to take out your mobile phone, snap a photo with Google Goggles, and instantly view that menu translated into your language.

Yesterday at the Mobile World Congress Google demonstrated a prototype of Google Goggles that has the power to do just that. It's still in a very early stage, this is a demo given by Google to shows just how powerful a smartphone can be when it's connected to the translation technologies. For more information and to watch the demo, check out the brand-new Google Translate blog.
