I sent a message to Arachne yesterday, but it didn't show up on my computer, so here it is again. My apologies if it is a duplicate.
I recently discovered the free Google Translate app for android smart phones and tablets. You set your languages (e.g. French to English), point the lens of your phone or tablet at the printed text, press the camera button, and it translates for you. It can't understand lace terms, of course, that's asking too much, but it does at least enable you to get the gist of the text. And I was pleased to discover it worked with Japanese, so I can finally read the text in my Japanese bobbin lace book!.
