Yeah it looks like they did:
• Word Lens: Just point your camera to a sign or text and the Translate app will instantly translate the text, even without Internet/data connection. Currently available in: English ↔ French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish.

- Mahn 12y agoThat's amazing. Major kudos to the Google Translate team if it really does work fully offline.
- alextgordon 12y agoThe live video translation was a startup that they acquired ("Word Lens"). It already worked offline so it would be strange if they had removed that feature. I doubt this implies that the Google translation engine has been ported to work offline.

- anonymousDan 12y agoDoes anyone know of any equivalent open source systems for the word lens or audio translate apps? Or even what kind of algs they are using?
