The Skype Translator Preview was released December 2014 and has now been added to the Windows Store.. No need to sign up just download! :)


Skype’s mission is to bring people together from all over the world, and withSkype Translator we are breaking down language barriers that have historically made it challenging for friends and families to connect.

Today, we’re excited to announce that we’re making it easier to obtain the Skype Translator preview by removing the sign-up requirement. Simply download the Skype Translator preview application from the Windows Store for your Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 preview PC or tablet – no waiting or sign-up needed – use it as soon as you download it!

Skype Translator currently has four available spoken languages – English, Spanish, Italian, Mandarin, and Link Removed (IM) languages. With IM, customers can write a text message in their language, and the recipient will receive it in their language of choice. Really useful, try it today!

Since releasing the Skype Translator preview in December 2014, we have received excellent feedback from all the early adopters. One of the early adopters we would like to highlight is Pro Mujer. Pro Mujer is a non-profit development organization based in New York City dedicated to providing women in Latin America with vital financial, health, and human development services that are typically out of reach, but essential in helping women become financially independent, healthy, and leaders in their communities.

We are very proud of Pro Mujer’s mission, and we’re delighted they’re finding value in using Skype generally, and Skype Translator to make an impact in so many people’s lives.
