Nokia introduces translator on Lumia range

25 Jun 2013

Nokia has introduced a multi-language translator that works via text and voice on its Lumia range of smartphones.

The app, Bing Translator, enables users to get automatic translations of text by pointing the phone’s camera at the intended text.

The user points the camera towards what they want to translate, and see the translation instantly.

Bing Translator is a free service for text and voice and currently translates over 32 languages including Arabic, English, Spanish, French, Japanese, German and Chinese among others.

Nokia’s Head of Product Marketing for East Africa, King’ori Gitahi, said the app will enable users overcome language barriers, especially when travelling to a foreign country.

“When you’re looking at a menu, or a sign at a train station or airport in a foreign country, trying to interpret the unusual letters and words can often lead to stress and confusion. Using the camera option in this app will turn your camera’s viewfinder into a translation tool. It scans the text placed in front of it and swaps the words for ones that you’re more familiar with,” Gitahi said.

He said that Bing Translator app is a personal assistant when it comes to understanding what’s being said, or what’s on a menu.
