Google Translate used to have instant translation from a photo for more languages and then they turned them off, no reason why.

Also you get tremendously worse translations when you translate a document (pdf, doc) vs the "scan/import" an image of text function.

It's a real bummer because hypertext and mobile UI should be excellent mediums for presenting multiple candidate translations and letting the reader indicate the best translation.
