For tonight’s NBA draft, ESPN will have fan-focused commentary on its main channel while its ESPN2 coverage will explain what the picks mean for the league. But you can also follow along on the network’s Twitter account, which will have “more of a ra…

Facebook today announced that the built-in artificial intelligence assistant in Messenger is now capable of translating messages from Spanish and English. The feature works the other way around as well so users will be able to get their messages translated from English to Spanish as well inside the app. This feature has gone live for all users in the United States and Mexico starting today.

Facebook introduced the M’s translation suggestions feature at its F8 developers’ conference last month. It was billed as yet another tool that would facilitate conversations between buyers and sellers in Facebook Marketplace. It’s not limited to that, though.

Starting today, users in the United States and Mexico will receive a “Translate to English/Spanish” prompt when they receive a message from someone in either language. When they tap on this prompt, the assistant will ask them if they would like to enable automatic translation for all messages that they receive from that particular friend in the future.

Users will be able to opt out of this feature at any time that they want. Facebook is going to expand this feature’s capabilities to offer translation for a variety of other languages as well but it’s going to take some time before that happens.

Cross-play wasn’t always encouraged by console makers and game publishers but things have been changing in the gaming industry over the past few years.

In what is likely going to be akin to rubbing salt in the wound, a new Minecraft trailer has been released today which highlights cross-play between the Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.

Fortnite Battle Royale is unquestionably one of the biggest games of this year and it supports cross-platform play between the Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and iOS. Sony has decided not to allow Fortnite cross-play between the PlayStation 4 and any other platform.

Many Sony fans would obviously prefer if the company gave up on this and started allowing cross-play with other consoles but Sony appears to be in no mood to change its stance. The new trailer for Minecraft goes to show that it’s basically more fun for players when they’re not forced into a walled garden.

The trailer finishes off with a tagline which reads “Better Together,” and many will certainly agree with that. It remains to be seen if Sony will ever feel the same way.

It’s Thursday again (funny how this seems to happen so frequently), which means that it’s time for another update to the Switch eShop. While some eShop updates throughout the first half of the year have been relatively quiet, this one most certainly is not. This, of course, is the week that Mario Tennis Aces arrives on the Switch, but it’s … Continue reading
