This is frightening for the sheer fact that the police in Germany took two weeks to think of using a translation app. In the UK police they used to have telephone interpreters to translate for people who could not speak English (and still do). This was years ago, and when mobile phones came along they were used so the telephone interpreters could be used to translate at the scene of incidents as well. Nowadays there is Google Translate and a plethora of other apps that can do this. The police force in question really needs to look at its training methods.
