Skype adds Japanese to its real
Skype Translator, the communication platform's real-time voice translator, just reached a new milestone. Microsoft announced on Thursday that Skype Translator is adding a 10th language: Japanese.

As Skype noted in a blog post, "Japanese has commonly been noted as one of the most difficult languages for native English speakers to learn." So this new addition should serve as a huge benefit to users, especially for those who already use Skype Translator for its nine other spoken languages, including: English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese (Mandarin), Italian, Portuguese (Brazilian), Arabic, and Russian.
To try out Japanese or another Skype Translator-supported language, go to your Skype Windows Desktop and click on the globe icon (shown below). Or if you're using Windows 10, click the Skype Translator button via the Skype Preview app.

Aside from translating voice and video calls to help eliminate language barriers, Skype also offers text translation for more than 60 languages. Who knows, perhaps we'll be seeing several of those languages added to the voice translator in the future.
