Google adds translation for iPhone.

Google has released an iPhone version of Google Translate. Being a user of this, I know that this is not always entirely accurate, but it can help you get basic points across in other languages. This could be a better, cheaper alternative to some of the apps that have been released in the app store.

Google’s description follows:

Google Translate for iPhone is optimized for speed, supports all of the existing Google Translate language pairs, and uses a client-side data-store on your iPhone to hang on to your past translations so you always have them at hand, even if you can’t use the local data network. We wrote this using the AJAX Language API, so every time the Google Translate team updates the languages they support, the languages will automatically be added here.
