Official Babylon translator app released for Windows Phone

Babylon

Babylon is a pop online translation service that is making its way over to the mobile world. Back in December, we mentioned that the company had taken advantage of Microsoft's Mobile Acceleration Week 2022 in Israel to build the popular language translator for Windows Phone. From the description at the time:

"As the leading proper noun in text translation, it was only natural that Babylon would transition over to mobile devices. And so they did. Already available on iOS and Android, Babylon for Windows Telephone allows you to translate whatever word, in any language, to the linguistic communication of your selection, in real time. Of form, there is a lot more than to the app including a currency converter, since presumably you will exist using the app when traveling. The UI is super simplistic and hence very intuitive and does exactly what it is meant to do, how it is meant to do it."

That app is at present alive and while the service is very powerful it'due south not the best translator we've used, partially because it doesn't have direct sharing options (though y'all can copy paste) nor the power to pronounce annihilation i.e. text-to-speech. That latter function irks us a flake as apps built off of Bing'southward Translator service can do this quite readily. Still, for direct translations of whole paragraphs, it's not too shabby and it is gratuitous meaning information technology is worth the download if you need such a service.
