funny they gave cyrilic as an example. I've recently been on Ukraine and wanted to test it out for fun. scanned part of a menu (capital letters) while in a restaurant with wifi and the result was something like "3KOUIJL3KLJLKOOOASA3IIU". even though Ukrainian!=Russian, with such scan results you can't even attempt to translate it.
btw out of curiosity I've tested a few google mobile apps while traveling. my experience:
translate - needs internet and failed reading cyrilic.
google maps - offline caching didn't work at all, I didn't know how to get to my cached maps as when I start maps it raises a message that I need internet connection and didn't let me go further.
google drive - I pressed 'offline' and wanted to create a document and it says I need internet connection. lol.
