The translation apps only are accurate at conveying very basic information. We used the Polish to English when my DIL was napping and her mom said I was old and fat. We laughed so hard and when Sylwia woke up and translated it was some else entirely.
Well, if I am ever in a situation where I can't speak a word of the language, then the apps are better than nothing. I've been in that situation before, and it was a big mistake. It is so hard. I have heard a few Russian speakers living in the FSU who speak English really well, and it amazes me.
