The Ideal Translator application for Traveling: Microsoft Translator
You definitely don’t need translator applications in your daily life, but they are more than useful when it comes to learning new languages and visiting foreign countries. Everyone knows about Google’s Translate application, but today I want to talk about another ideal application for traveling: none other than Microsoft Translator.
You’ll be surprised to find out the fact that Microsoft has thought about a different strategy when it comes to finding its place in a world dominated by Android. Instead of offering us new smartphones (which are more or less popular, let’s face that), Microsoft intends to start bringing its applications and services to Android.
Microsoft Translator has a nice looking and simple user interface, proving more than handy for communicating with someone when you don’t share a common language or for learning new languages. All you have to do is to speak to your Android smartphone or type in the phrase in your language and then, be sure of the fact that the application will help you translate the words and speak them back to you.
And yes, you can also use it on your Android-powered watch, but be careful about something: you need to have a have a working Internet connection to use this application, as the app does not work without Internet.
How to use Microsoft Translator:
