Food menus and Google Translate
Google has a cool app, “Translate”, which integrates “Lense”, allowing you to take a photo or use the life camera to translate what you see, e.g. of a restaurant menu.

Anyway, we started with a wonderful stop-over in Munich, for some professional reasons, and the to-date highest…
