Skype has just announced that users who have signed up to try out the Skype real-time Translator and are running Windows 8.1can now access the trial from today.
The service initially only supports Spanish and English as the first two languages for voice communication, but already includes over 40 languages for live translation of instant messages.
To launch, Skype released a video showing students from the US and Mexico communicating with each other over a phone call and the new service translating in real time.
The company also gives additional background information about how the service actually works, explaining the machine learning process that Skype. So the more the service is used, the better the translation will be. If you haven't already signed up, you can still do so from the Skype Translator page.
