Bing Offer Tweet Translation Service to Users

Twitter has officially added the Bing tweet translator across web and mobile devices! Another great piece of advice from Visionary Media, your number one social media agency in Bristol.

Users can choose whether or not they want to see translation options for tweets in their account settings and the feature is really easy to use. Once the feature is enabled, a small globe icon will appear under tweets. Clicking on this globe will prompt Bing to translate the tweet to the user’s default language, keeping the original tweet just above.

“Although Bing Translator relies on advanced translation software to provide Tweet translations, the results still vary and often fall below the accuracy and fluency of translations provided by a professional translator,” – Twitter

As above, Twitter have acknowledged that the feature may not always be perfect, but it is definitely a great tool to keep up to date with tweets from around the globe!
