Last week Nokia showcased quite innovative cameraphone translator mobile application named Shoot-to-Translate which can translate Chinese to English from a photo taken with the mobile phone. The application if released will be much useful for frequent travellers as they will be able to translate languages on the fly just by taking pictures.

The released text reads: “Shoot to Translate: a demonstration using software that translates written characters into another language; the original text is captured with the camera on the Nokia multimedia computer and translation happens in real time.”

Not much details have been revealed just yet about language support and its release date.
