Microsoft Translator. Your first step to bringing the United Nations of languages into your classroom

March 18, 2018

A huge thank you to  Brandon Petersen @Den_Petersen Who wanted to make sure I knew about this app. 

Microsoft Translator allows you to have point to point conversations in a multitude of languages (more languages are being added all of the time. This is a newer solution from Microsoft) You do not have to swap language choices, etc. It happens in a much more natural environment compared to some other translation apps you might have used. 

Not only that, there is a presenter mode. People can join in on your conversation, select their language and then listen to you speak in their desired language. You can have a multitude of people who speak a multitude of languages listening to you speak while having it translate into their spoken language. 

The video below will give you a brief introduction to Microsoft Translator. Here is a link to the Microsoft Translator website which has all of the applicable download links.
