Skype Translator, the communication platform's real-time voice translator, just reached a new milestone. Microsoft an**unced (https://blogs.skype.com/news/2017/04/06/skype-translator-offers-japanese-10th-real-time-spoken-language/) on Thursday that Skype Translator is adding a 10th language: Japanese.

The language will **w be available on all Microsoft Translation services — even Microsoft Translator Live.
