Mobile augmented reality apps are slowly finding their way into the iPhone store. Word Lens is a language translation app that uses the iPhone’s camera to capture written language text (on signs, etc.) and translate it instantly.

Like magic! Almost. While we haven’t personally taken this for a test drive, it certainly looks promising.
