14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has prepared another handy update for the Android version of SwiftKey, enabling real-time translation from one language to another as users type text.
What’s important to know is that this feature is available as part of the most recent build, and there’s no ETA right now as to when it is supposed to be released to users.
With version 7.1.3.25, SwiftKey for Android beta comes with Microsoft Translator integration, and it can be accessed from the toolbar for easy translations.
Translating text is a breeze and is performed instantly after you open the Translator interface from the toolbar. You only need to select the target language and the process is performed as you type. The app comes with support for all languages that currently exist in Microsoft Translator.
Other improvements in this build
This new version of SwiftKey also introduces extra goodies, including support for Dungan language, as well as some more top row symbol layouts.
Needless to say, given that it’s a beta build, not everything may work exactly as expected, though we do know that many are tempted to install this version to try out the new features.
Microsoft, however, gives you to the possibility of taking SwiftKey beta for a spin without actually removing the stable version, as the two can be installed side by side without removing any of them. Whenever you’re done testing, you can simply delete the beta and continue using the stable release.
You can find the most recent beta build of SwiftKey on the Google Play store and download the latest stable build from Softpedia using this link.
There’s no word as to when the iOS version could get Microsoft Translator integration, but given that SwiftKey evolves at such a fast pace, it shouldn’t take too long before this happens.
