Bing Translator App for Windows Phone 8

The Translator app on Windows Phone devices may be freaking handy for translation but it contains other ways of translating into other languages such as the new lens feature where you can translate the text in the picture taken with the camera and the use of the voice feature to translate what you say to the text in other languages.
This is the combination of AR Translation with the camera, speech and text translation but damn, Augmented Reality on this? Perhaps I was reminded of various games on 8th gen portable consoles where you can scan the AR cards and use the camera to capture them and that will trigger something depending on the games you play but using AR for translating stuffs? Well, I don't know.
