Microsoft's Skype software will start translating voice calls between people today. As part of a preview program,Skype Translator makes it possible for English and Spanish speakers to communicate in their native language, without having to learn a new one. Itsounds like magic , but it's the result of years of work from Microsoft's research team and Skype to provide an early working copy of software that could help change the way the world communicates in the future.

微軟旗下的實時通訊應用:Skype今日開始提供語音實時翻譯功能。就像之前預覽版展示的那樣,兩位使用英語與西班牙語的學生通過“Skype Translator”使用母語進行交流而不需要學習新的語言。這聽起來像個神話,但卻是微軟研究團隊與Skype多年研究的成果。這款應用將會改變未來人們交流的方式。

Skype Translator Preview works on Windows 8.1 or preview copies of Windows 10, and it works by translating voice input froman English or Spanish speaker into text and translated audio. An Englishspeaker will hear a translation from a Spanish speaker, and vice versa. Microsoft previously demonstrated the technology working between English and German, but Spanish will be the only language outside of English that will be initially supported during the preview.

測試版“Skype Translator” 可以在Win8.1或者Win10測試版下運行,可以在英語與西班牙語的語音輸入過程中同步進行文本與音頻的翻譯。對話中,使用英文與西班牙文的交流者聽到的都是已經完成翻譯的母語。雖然微軟之前展示的實時翻譯技術是基於英語與德語之間,但是測試版的軟件僅提供英語與西班牙語之間的實時翻譯功能。

Microsoft is marketing Skype Translator as atool for schools, and the company tested it out with students in the US and Mexico. Skype is already popular in the classroom, with teachers participating in video conferences around the world to connect their schools to classroomsacross the globe. While tests and demonstrations have been in limited and controlled experiments, Microsoft's move today opens up its Skype Translator toa much wider audience to test it in the real world.

微軟希望將“Skype Translator”作爲一種教學工具出售給學校,所以他們將測試工作放在美國與墨西哥的學校中進行。Skype已經在教學中得到了廣泛地應用,教室們通過該應用與全世界的學生進行視頻互動。由於之前的小範圍測試與技術展示有一定的侷限性,所以微軟在今天對外開放了“Skype Translator”公測,以便在真實應用場景中進行更多測試
