Skype Translator available for Windows 8.1 and 10
Microsoft appears to be expanding the availability of the Skype Translator preview starting today, so any Windows 8.1 and 10 user can download and try the app.
The Skype Translator app, a real-time voice/video translation service, has been available for testing since late 2014.
Today, May 12, Microsoft opened the testing program, essentially eliminating registrations and waiting processes. To try out the Skype Translator app, you simply need to download the trial version from the Windows Store.
Currently, the Skype Translator app supports English, Chinese (Mandarin), Italian, and Spanish. Microsoft encourages testers to use the app in these languages, if possible.
However, the new app also supports French and German, according to the download page.
Microsoft's ultimate plan is to support 45 or more languages with Skype Translator and make the service available on different devices running different operating systems.
Microsoft has been working on this real-time speech and video translation project for more than three years
