Microsoft has just released a brand new version of the Bing Translator app, fixing a number of bugs and implementing several performance optimizations to improve the overall experience on Windows 8 and 8.1.

The tech giant didn't provide us with updated release notes on this particular build, but it did mention that Bing Translator continued to offer the same rich feature package that includes text and camera translation, text to speech, and support for Windows 8’s Snap View mode.

“The Bing Translator App for Windows is your companion when you need to quickly translate what you are looking at. Use your camera or just type the text you want to translate. Text and camera translation work offline with downloadable language packs, so you can get the power of Bing Translator on-the-go, even when you don't have an Internet connection,” the app description now reads.

Of course, the new version of Bing Translator works on both Windows 8 and Windows RT, so you can install it on Surface RT tablets too.
