I imagine the app will come down within a month or two of the transition, but it poses an interesting question:
The Google Translate app is a native front-end to the Google Translate service. Word Lens actually does its translation on the device itself, with no need for cellular service in whatever country you may be exploring. Will Google add an offline photo translation mode, or will the Word Lens tech move to the cloud?
