The Microsoft Translator application is one of the must-have apps for all owners of Windows 8 computers or tablets, because it allows you to have a real vocabulary to translate into English or other foreign languages. The Microsoft Translator for Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, which can be downloaded for free from the Windows Store, is capable of translating both the typed text and the camera shot.
A bit like Google Translate for Android, the Microsoft Translator application also allows you to translate without the need for an internet connection .

Microsoft Translator is the heir to Yahoo Babelfish and, although less famous than Google Translate, has always been one of the best sites for translating languages and words automatically.
Microsoft has now released the application of the instant translator for Windows 10 and 8.1 in order to have a vocabulary always available to translate sentences and words.
As mentioned, the translator can also work by integrating with the tablet camera.
Unfortunately this feature does not support normal PC webcams.
The translator also allows you to listen to translated phrases verbally, which is very useful for knowing the pronunciation of words .
The best feature however is the ability to translate from Italian to English or vice versa, even offline, without internet connection .
Then open the application, press the right button on the screen and choose the " Offline Download " option
For Italian - English the Download button appears to install the offline translation.
The application options on Windows 10 are opened by clicking on the button at the top left of the window.
The Microsoft Translator is therefore ideal when traveling with a laptop or tablet with Windows 10 or Windows 8.1, to always have an English translator at hand, even in the absence of the internet.
Furthermore, as like any other application, it can be kept open on a column on the right or left of the screen, it is also convenient to use in integration with other programs.
For those without Windows 10 and 8.1 and as an alternative application I remember the best and free multilingual dictionary program Lingoes
