翻譯利器：微軟新應用可轉換50種語言
Microsoft's new app translates 50 languages on your phone or watch
Microsoft has launched Translator, a new Android and iOS app that translates your text or speech input into 50 different languages. In addition to your mobile devices, Translator works with Apple Watch and Android Wear gear too.
微軟（Microsoft）近日推出新應用Translator,支持安卓和iOS系統(tǒng),可將您的文本和語音輸入翻譯成50種不同的語言.除了手機,這款應用還支持Apple Watch和Android Wear穿戴設備.
The app features a clean interface that displays your translated text in an easy-to-read font, so it's great for showing people whose language you don't speak.
該應用界面清爽,翻譯好的文字將以易讀的字體顯示在界面上,拿給語言不通的人閱讀很方便.
It doesn't hurt that Translator's support for smartwatches makes your new timepiece a little more useful when you're on the go.
此外,Translator還支持智能手表,使你的新手表在你四處奔走的時候更有用處.
The watch app can read out your translations in supported languages, such as Spanish and Simplified Chinese. This is helpful for when you're traveling or are trying to learn a few key phrases.
這款手表應用還可以用其支持的語言（比如西班牙語和簡體中文）將翻譯的內容閱讀出來.這在你在外旅行或想學幾個重要短語時會很有用.
Plus, you can pin translated phrases to a list for quick reference, or find them on the History screen.
另外,你可以將翻譯過的短語添加至快速引用的列表中,你也可以在歷史記錄中找到它們.
How accurate is Translator? Depending on the languages you're working with, your mileage may vary. I got a few incorrect ones when translating from conversational English to Hindi, but that's to be expected.
Translator到底有多精確呢？根據(jù)你所要轉化的語言,準確度會有所不同.我在使用這個應用將會話英語翻成印度語時發(fā)現(xiàn)了幾處錯誤,但這實屬正常.
I might be more inclined to trust Google, which says that its service is used to translate over 100 billion words a day and even works in real-time when you point your camera at foreign language text — but then again, Microsoft beat it to the punch in launching smartwatch versions of its translation app.
我可能更傾向于信任谷歌,因為谷歌稱其翻譯服務每天會翻譯超過1千億個詞條,甚至當照相機鏡頭中出現(xiàn)外語文本時都能夠實時翻譯,但是,微軟的翻譯應用推出了智能手表版本,顯然做到了先發(fā)制人.
