Word Lens is a nifty app in the App Store that translates signs, menus, and other simple things from English to Spanish or vise-versa. Simply point your device at anything in either language, assuming you bought that translation pack, and the app does the rest translating in real time! You don't take pictures, you just look at your screen, take a still if you want, and Word lens changes the word already as it would look on the object in the language. Really neat, I was stunned by it, sometimes I need good lighting, but definitely something to check out or show people.

Unfortunately the $4.99 language packs are separate and will go up to $9.99 soon, catch it while you can. The app doesn't use and network since everything is built in, so you can even take your device to no WiFi/service zones and try it out. Check out Word Lens in the App store for free(plus paid packages).
