But as as great as this new feature is, there was a huge drawback, it wasn’t available for desktop users, which, let’s face it, are still the vast majority of Windows users. In order to use Skype Translator, one still needs to download a standalone app for that. However, according to Microsoft, at the end of this summer, Skype Translator will become available as an integrated component of the existing Skype desktop app for Windows. Just how awesome is that! Yasmin Khan with the company said the following: At the moment, the Skype Translator preview currently works with four spoken languages – English, Spanish, Italian and Mandarin but it comes with support 50 written languages. Of course, it’s much harder to translate in real-time an audio feed, but Microsoft’s team is working on adding more languages as we speak.
