Hi

 

For IM conversation translation only you can use the Lync Conversation Translator.

 

First download the conversation translator application: hhttps://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26136

 

Then import this into your registry

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\Addins\{2b26edf9-92e0-4d9c-9d7a-f772fcd4f31b}]

"Name"="Skype Conversation Translator"

"Parameters"=""

"ExtensibilityApplicationType"=dword:00000000

"ExtensibilityWindowSize"=dword:00000001

"DefaultContextPackage"=dword:00000000

"InternalURL"="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=68810&Lync=y"

"ExternalURL"="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=68810&Lync=y"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Lync\Security]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Lync\Security\Trusted Sites]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Lync\Security\Trusted Sites\conversationtranslator.cloudapp.net]

"http"=dword:00000001

"https"=dword:000000

    Still getting the conversationtranslator.cloudapp.net url error. Do we have a resolution? I have a client that needs this and would prevent them from moving off of SfB to Cisco! Thanks!

    Thanks.

     

    I was actually after the voice to voice translation for calling China.  (ie I speak english they hear Mandarin, They speak Mandarin I hear English thus can chat without translator).

     

    Where is this on Skype for Business roadmap?

     

    Regards,

    James

      Sorry, i misunderstood "While the video would be nice my biggest want is just translation for the IM." meaning IM = Instant Messaging, not voice.

       

      At the moment this functionality is not around. There are lots of things that need to happen for tis to be possible. 

       

      It's not on the short term roadmap but I know this is the nirvana so with Microsoft Cortana running subtitles in broadcast meetings demoed a year ago, I expect what you are asking for to be around within the next 2 years. Skype consumer is doing it today, not sure how good it is, but its there! Business always comes after consumer
