Too bad it only seems to work on the latin alphabet. With greek letters, chinese symbols etc I get nothing at best. Works with Japanese on my MacBook Pro. I use it quite frequently.

I wonder if it has to do with languages enabled on your system?

  No, I believe it only works with two or three alphabets. It’s a limitation that was documented somewhere. At least I think that was the case when first released. Just like Siri/voice recognition I’m sure Apple will add additional scripts over time.

I tried using it to translate printed Russian text on a package once and it wouldn’t recognize the Cyrillic characters as text. YMMV
