Google Translate
Você fala português? Don’t worry if you don’t speak Portuguese. Google Translate allows you (and the person you’re speaking with) to speak, handwrite, or even take a picture to input the language you need translated. If you were ever stumped on what to order at a Japanese countertop sushi restaurant, fear no more: just take a photo of the menu item, brush your finger over the bit you want translated, and voila. You can even download an offline language pack so you can access Translate without an Internet connection.
