  1. This does not work in China. When you are physically located within China the Google Translate app will not give you the option to translate a picture. This is a nuisance because I need screenshots translated to use local McDonald’s or KFC apps. Or JD, or TaoBao, etc. Everything else seems to work, only this one feature.
