Bing Translator

Microsoft:

The Bing Translator app is based on years of Microsoft Research’s investments in advancing machine learning — a way to find patterns that humans can’t see, helping people interpret the words and worlds around them.

Translating content whether browsed, typed or scanned is nearly instantaneous. Just point your device’s camera at printed text and watch as the translation is automatically overlaid over the video stream — creating subtitles for everyday life. You can also type to translate with your keyboard and hear translations spoken with a native speaker’s accent.

Seems like something Siri should do.
