Over the last few months, we shared with you two innovative translation experiences that we developed for the Windows platform – Bing Translator for Windows Phone<\/span><\/a> and for Windows 8<\/span><\/a>. These apps utilize the best technologies from Microsoft Research, Bing and Windows to deliver great travel, communication and information consumption experiences to consumers.<\/p>\n

Thousands of developers are at BUILD 2013 in San Francisco this week where Microsoft is showcasing how they<\/span> can create great experiences for their consumers on Windows platforms by utilizing these technologies in their own applications.<\/p>\n

Today during Steven Guggenheimer’s keynote at BUILD<\/span><\/a>, Microsoft showcased the availability of an exciting new update to Twitter for Windows Phone – bringing instant translation of Tweets that are in a different language than your own. Over the last year, Microsoft has been working with the team at Twitter to explore how its translation technology, based on Microsoft Research’s extensive advancements in machine learning, can help the global Twitter community better communicate across language barriers.<\/p>\n

        \"Twitter<\/a>    \"Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n

With this update, a soccer\/football fan can still follow the news about their favorite soccer team even if the breaking news on Twitter is not in their language. Tapping on a Tweet with a globe icon, which indicates translation is available, expands the Tweet and shows translated text right below the original content. The built-in Tweet translation feature is available for the 38 languages supported by the app powered by Microsoft Translator. Download\/update your Windows Phone Twitter app<\/span><\/a> to try it out for yourself!<\/p>\n

“Breaking down language barriers with world-class research and engineering has been the guiding principle behind the development of Microsoft Translator, and Twitter is an excellent new addition to community of customers and developers leveraging Microsoft’s translation technology for their users,” said Peter Lee<\/span><\/a>, Corporate Vice President of Microsoft Research US. “The integration of machine translation technology from Microsoft Research has the ability to broaden any application’s impact through a substantial increase in accessibility to real time communications and information sharing. No longer is language a barrier to real time instant connections around the world.”<\/p>\n

Windows Phone application developers can take advantage of the Microsoft Translator API<\/span><\/a> to bring the power of instant translation to their apps. Windows developers can also download the just announced Translator control for Windows<\/span><\/a> to reach a global audience and differentiate their Windows applications.<\/p>\n

As the next billion users come online, we look forward to delivering and enabling many more global experiences by continuing to harness the innovations coming out of our research work and data platforms with developers, app builders and partners. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
