Microsoft is announcing that Cortana now supports instant translations for its French, German, Italian, and Spanish versions of Windows 10. When you are using Windows 10 in these languages and need a quick translation of a phrase, you can now just ask Cortana and you’ll get your translation in an instant. You can also type the phrase into the Cortana toolbar in case you’re in a place where you can’t speak it out loud.<\/p>\n

Microsoft Translator’s mission is to break the language barrier by providing translation whenever and wherever you need it. In addition to being integrated into Cortana, you can also download the Translator app for Windows 10<\/a> to get translations from your webcam or to translate when you are not connected to the internet. Microsoft Translator apps are also available for iPhone and Apple Watch<\/a>, Android phones and watches<\/a>, and it is integrated into a number of products<\/a> such as Microsoft Office, Bing<\/a>, and Skype Translator<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Just like the English release of instant translation last September, you can ask Cortana to translate for you to get an answer right away. Currently, for instance, you can say in English, “Hey Cortana, translate where is the nearest taxi stand in Polish” (or any supported languages) and receive the translated phrase from Microsoft Translator right within Cortana. Now, this is also possible in these localized versions of Windows 10. Here are few examples of how you can ask for these translations in these languages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, if Cortana misunderstands you or does not have the translation, it will open up a web page after performing a web search for it.<\/p>\n

Next time you want to know the translation of a word or phrase, just ask Cortana and she will lend you a hand!<\/p>\n
