What is Skype translator? What are the developers doing?

Skype Translator is the latest experience from Skype that allows a user to speak to another language without even learning it. To use the translator, just start a video call or voice call to someone who speaks a different language. When you start talking, the translator will begin translating your conversation in near real-time.

Unfortunately, the translator is limited only to English and Spanish languages at the moment. They said they will be adding more languages in the future. When the person you are chatting with speaks, his or her conversation will also be translated back in your language. A transcript of your call will also be displayed on your screen during the call.

The Skype Translator allows you to send IMs or instant messages to more than 40 languages. Visit Skype Translator to register and be a preview user.
