Tech Tip Tuesday: Traveling abroad or need to read a sign/menu in another language? Your smartphone’s camera can be a quick translation tool. Here’s how:

  • Google Translate App: Available for both Android and iPhone, this app can translate text in real time using your camera. Simply point your camera at the text, and the translated text appears on your screen.
