Certainly where faxes are gone the phone camera rules. Which also makes my point. The phone & camera will be in only supported languages and the document sent can be in any language. Even one the Aliens / Fairies / new TV show / book uses.
For one or two pages, I may consider a phone, but I would rather use a scanner if available.

Also Chinese and Japanese might be easier to write than type. Supposedly they use faxes still.

Have you ever tried using Google Translate with text you type that's in Russian / Arabic / Hebrew / Greek / Korean / Thai / Hindi and you don't know those languages and have a Latin-Roman style keyboard? Never mind non-alphabetic.
I actually can type Greek in a limited fashion due to Linux and the Compose key. A bit of trial and error though. I know a few letters of Cyrillic and Hebrew alphabets but have no idea how to type them.

I'm not sure what the above has to do with scanning vs faxing. You already have a paper copy, so why is faxing a plus?
