They can also use Translator with Cognitive Services such as Speech or Computer Vision to add additional capabilities such as speech-to-text and image translation into their apps. Using Translator, people and organisations can add African languages’ text translation to apps, websites, workflows, and tools or use Translator’s Document Translation feature to translate entire documents, or volumes of documents, in a variety of different file formats preserving their original formatting. Integrations across Microsoft’s ecosystem include Microsoft 365 for translating text and documents, the Microsoft Edge browser and Bing search engine for translating whole webpages, SwiftKey for translating messages, LinkedIn for translating user-submitted content, and the Translator app for having multilingual conversations on the move, among others. He adds: “The addition of new African languages enables more people and businesses to connect across languages and means that language will become a seamless feature of using technology.” Through this release, we continue to build meaningful cognitive products and services that improve accessibility and break down the language barrier between people and cultures all over the world,” says Wael Elkabbany, General Manager, Microsoft Africa Regional Cluster. “It is transformative when we can empower our communities across the continent to do and achieve more, and even more so, when they can do it in their own language. This brings the total number of supported languages to 124, adding language support for millions of people in Africa and around the world. Microsoft has added 13 new African languages to its Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services Translator, allowing text and documents to be translated to and from these languages across the entire Microsoft ecosystem of products and services.įollowing the release of Somali and Zulu last year, the latest African languages to be supported are chiShona, Hausa, Igbo, Kinyarwanda, Lingala, Luganda, Nyanja, Rundi, Sesotho, Sesotho sa Leboa, Setswana, Xhosa, and Yoruba.
