Microsoft launches translation app in 50 languages

Microsoft has launched a iPhone application that will allow us to translate spoken or written texts into 50 languages. The application uses the same technology that is present in Office, Bing, Skype, Internet Explorer and other services such as Yelp or Twitter, a technology that, it must be said, seems to me personally the best for translating texts, especially if they are long texts.

Microsoft's proposal to translate texts for iOS is in a first version, and it shows. For example, it is funny that an application that serves to translate has the menus in English, as you can see in the images above these lines, at the top right where it says "Close" instead of "Close". On the other hand, it also you need to tell us what language we are translating. If we find a text and paste it into Microsoft Translator, unlike the web version, we will not see what language it is translating, even if it does it well, it all has to be said.

The main features of Microsoft Translator are as follows (from the App Store):

• On Apple Watch: Talk to the watch and you get direct translation in 50 languages.
• Not sure how to pronounce the translation? Let Translator speak the phrase for you.
• Noisy environment? Just show someone your watch or phone. Also, on the iPhone, full-screen translation cards make what we're trying to say easier.
• Bookmark your translations for later use and view recent translations.
• All your translations and settings are synchronized between the watch and the iPhone.
