Believe it or not . . .
For the mono-lingual English tourist who has mistakenly ordered a steaming bowl of sour cow lung in a German restaurant, Google has the answer.
The search giant has unveiled its latest piece of technology, an application which lets a diner snap a foreign menu on their smartphone for an instant translation into English.
Currently Google's early prototype can only translate German to English; so where it will save the unsuspecting tourist in Bavaria from a slice of gefullter Saumagen (stuffed sow's stomach), the green-faced vegetarian in Paris will be left prodding his plate of pieds de cochon (pig's trotters).
