If you've seen any text on the internet that's not in your native language, chances are you've encountered Google Translate. It's built into Chrome and the web-based form is pretty handy for everyone else. However, the mobile app has quite a few other features that are worth keeping around.
For starters, the mobile app includes "Conversation mode." This allows two people to tap on their respective language, speak aloud, and have their words translated into their partner's language and read back. It's as close to a Star Trek universal translator as you can get right now. The app also allows you to translate written text by taking a photo, and even save translated sentences to your personal phrasebook. While it may not be perfect, the Translate app should probably be installed on every phone.
