Google Translate

...sure seems like a pretty neat free iPhone app. You can speak into it or type into it and translate what is given into another language.

 
 

Addendum 10/19/2015: We were goofing off with this at work today. You can hold the camera up to a sign in another language and the camera will show you, after a moment, what the sign would say in another language yet. The software recognizes the characters, translates them, and then reimages the image in a similar format and font. Japanese translations work a bit differently. You can take a photo of something in Japanese and then run your finger over characters to highlight them in the photo and it will tell you what the highlighted copy translates to.
