in my experience, the type of text that meets these criteria is nearly always in english, or doesn't need translation - like street signs, airport signs, bill boards etc. Translation should really be "lookup in my language" - I should be able to lookup with something on a menu says, and what it means, for example. This is where things like Word Lens fails, it just does a word-for-word translation. Take hors d'oeuvres, as an example, translates (word for word) as "out work", which is very unhelpful. There are times when i'd like something that looks at a MWE and tells me what it is, no matter what language it was written in. Like Google does.
