I'm curious if that part has improved with integration with Google's Translate. The video-based translated word substitution was amazing, but my understanding was that it was doing a very simple translation in the original app, essentially a word at a time.

Word-at-a-time use was perfect for me travelling around europe, as basically all I wanted it for was translating signs

Yeah, it works for most of the cases where you'd want to use something like Word Lens. I was more just wondering how deep the new integration goes.
