Default Google Currents 1.1 Translates and has Off-Line Reading

http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/11/...upport-offline/

"Google has today rolled out version 1.1 of [Currents] for Android and iOS, which makes the service available worldwide with support for 44 languages, and adds a number of other improvements including the ability to select which editions have images for offline reading, instant online sync, translation for 38 languages and a promised 7X performance boost."

I haven't used Google Currents but it looks like a great app.  I may have to try it out!  The fact that it does translation is cool and off-line reading could be just what some WiFi tablet owners are looking for!  It's free on the Play Store and supports phone or tablet form factors.

Nice idea, but that's a pretty bad translation. Good enough to get the general idea, but the finer points are missed, or translated incorrectly, especially with the german sentence word order.
