Hi, Angela.
You mean offering for visitors to download the app when they sign in? That sounds really interesting! I just had to do a project doing audience research in Spanish, and I had to use google translate for the whole thing. Most of the stuff made sense, although it murdered the pronouns, calling a person “he” “she” and “it” in the same paragraph :/
Best,
Althea Cupo

My school has a high immigrant population and many of them have success with the various historical documents with the Google picture translation feature that you describe. If it works for historical documents, I don't see why it wouldn't work for modern signage.
