Just a heads up for anyone relying on Google Translate for their Japan trip.
Definitely download the offline language pack before you go!
I lost service on a hike near Hakone and being able to type in things saved me. However… the camera/lens feature for menus was super hit or miss for me.
Half the time it translated “grilled chicken” as “burned bird child” or something nonsensical.
Has anyone found a better app specifically for translating handwritten menus?
