The Google app that is included in the Appslib market appears to be just linked to Google's translation web page. You type in the phrase you need translated and select the language to translate to and it translates. I did not see anywhere that you could " speak " into the app and have it translate nor did I see where it would " speak " back. There was another app that would speak back listed. I played with Google translate some time back with my Droid but was not very successful. It did not understand me very well and at the only time would only translate " speak " Spanish. I would wonder if the quality of either tablets mic would be good enough for any translation app?
