From CNET: Microsoft plans to roll out a real-time language translation feature for its popular Internet phone service by the end of the year, the company announced Tuesday.
The feature, dubbed Skype Translator, was demonstrated Tuesday by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella during an onstage interview at the Recode Code Conference in Palos Verdes, Calif. During the demonstration, Nadella conducted a conversation with Skype chief Gurdeep Singh Pall, who was speaking German, while Skype provided real-time translation of the German into English and vice versa.
The feature, which is expected to debut as a consumer beta for Windows 8 later this year, currently supports translation for about 40 languages and will be available on all devices, Nadella said.
"This is about creating a learning system that improves with data," he said.
