　　Microsoft has launched Translator, a new Android and iOS app that translates your text or speech input 1 into 50 different languages. In addition to your mobile devices, Translator works with Apple Watch and Android Wear gear too.

　　微软（Microsoft）近日推出新应用Translator，支持安卓和iOS系统，可将您的文本和语音输入翻译成50种不同的语言。除了手机，这款应用还支持Apple Watch和Android Wear穿戴设备。
　　The app features a clean interface 2 that displays your translated text in an easy-to-read font, so it’s great for showing people whose language you don’t speak.
　　该应用界面清爽，翻译好的文字将以易读的字体显示在界面上，拿给语言不通的人阅读很方便。
　　It doesn’t hurt that Translator’s support for smartwatches makes your new timepiece a little more useful when you’re on the go.
　　此外，Translator还支持智能手表，使你的新手表在你四处奔走的时候更有用处。

　　The watch app can read out your translations in supported languages, such as Spanish and Simplified Chinese. This is helpful for when you’re traveling or are trying to learn a few key phrases.
　　这款手表应用还可以用其支持的语言（比如西班牙语和简体中文）将翻译的内容阅读出来。这在你在外旅行或想学几个重要短语时会很有用。
　　Plus, you can pin translated phrases to a list for quick reference, or find them on the History screen.
　　另外，你可以将翻译过的短语添加至快速引用的列表中，你也可以在历史记录中找到它们。
　　How accurate is Translator? Depending on the languages you’re working with, your mileage 3 may vary. I got a few incorrect ones when translating from conversational 4 English to Hindi, but that’s to be expected.
　　Translator到底有多精确呢？根据你所要转化的语言，准确度会有所不同。我在使用这个应用将会话英语翻成印度语时发现了几处错误，但这实属正常。
　　I might be more inclined to trust Google, which says that its service is used to translate over 100 billion words a day and even works in real-time when you point your camera at foreign language text — but then again, Microsoft beat it to the punch in launching smartwatch versions of its translation app.
　　我可能更倾向于信任谷歌，因为谷歌称其翻译服务每天会翻译超过1千亿个词条，甚至当照相机镜头中出现外语文本时都能够实时翻译，但是，微软的翻译应用推出了智能手表版本，显然做到了先发制人。
