The Bing Translator app has been available on Windows Phone for some time, but today it’s heading over to Windows 8. According to a post on the browser’s Search Blog, the program was built “from the ground up” for Windows devices, and it utilizes the Share Charm to let you translate text from within any Windows 8 app. Otherwise, it works much the same as on other platforms: by using your gadget’s camera to parse more than 40 languages (of course, you can type text to translate as well). The Translator app also includes offline support, so you can download language packs for use without a WiFi connection. Check it out for yourself by heading to the download page in the Windows Store.
