To use the translation, click the 'a/あ' button that appears on the screen while the video is playing.
Select the language of the video being played and the language you want to translate.
Check either 'Audio' or 'Subtitles' or both for which you want to provide translations, and click 'Translate.'
Processing will proceed.
Within seconds of starting the process, the English voice was replaced with a synthesized Spanish voice.
Microsoft said about this feature, 'There are a huge number of videos on the Internet, but many of them have problems such as language barriers that make it difficult to understand them or hearing impairments that make them difficult to enjoy,' and indicated that the real-time translation function could be a catalyst for overcoming these challenges. In addition, they also revealed that they have plans to expand the supported languages and video platforms in the future.
