14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has just launched the Bing Translator app on Windows 8, offering support for more than 40 languages.
The most interesting feature is clearly the camera option that allows you to simply point the built-in webcam at a printed text and let the app automatically scan the content to provide the requested translation.
Offline support is also available, so you can even translate text from one language to another if you’re not connected to the Internet.
After installation, you can simply select the text you wish to translate and hit the Share Charms in Windows 8, picking Bing Translator as the app to handle the selection.
“The Translator app is the perfect companion when traveling. The app can help overcome language barriers, even when there’s no internet connection. Save on expensive data plans when traveling with offline language packs for select languages so you can travel with confidence, even in the most remote locations. More language packs coming soon,” Microsoft explained. Download Bing Translator for Windows 8/RT from Softpedia
