Microsoft is continuing to release excellent apps for non-Windows platforms, and its most recent app could be the coolest one yet. Known as Microsoft Translator, what makes this new Android app so cool is that not only does it allow users to instantly translate in 50 languages, it also has Android Wear support and allows users to speak into the app an receive a translation with proper pronunciation.

Microsoft has been doing big things for the Android platform, and frankly, it’s about time. This week, the company launched Microsoft Translator onto Google Play, giving users instant access to translations in 50 languages. Not only is it a solid app for your smartphone, but Microsoft also baked in Android Wear support, giving you the flexibility to use it whenever and however you see fit. The app is straightforward enough. Speak into the app and it will deliver instant translations. If you do not know how to pronounce a word, the translator can speak it for you, so as not to embarrass yourself in a foreign country. If you happen to be in a noisy environment, you can just show your phone to the person you are attempting to communicate with. The same can be done on your Android Wear watch. Speak into it, then receive your desired translation. It appears all of the major languages of the world are supported. This includes Spanish, Russian, Arabic, French, Urdu, Hebrew, Greek, German, and a ton more.
