    Microsoft has brought its Translator to SwiftKey, allowing users to translate their conversations without having to leave the app they're in. With an update out today, SwiftKey for Android will translate incoming and outgoing messages in real time and it will be able to do so for over 60 languages. Additionally, while you won't need to install Microsoft Translator to be able to use the new SwiftKey feature, the company says translation will work offline if you do.

    Microsoft Translator's image translation is simple: point your phone's camera at a sign or menu in any of the 21 supported languages and the app translates it in real-time onscreen. The app's iOS version got it back in February and now the feature comes to the Android one. But a few other features and language additions come along with the update.
