[technology taskforce] Microsoft Translator now translates in real time a conversation in multiple languages

[Beran Dondeh]

Hi guys,

This is great. Perhaps we should test it out. Create a group with volunteers from different regions of course and test it out using different languages and different platforms. Then give feedback on the next call. I would love to be a a part of the testing crew. 

Downloading it on phone now. 

Cheers
