What is Microsoft Translator?

Microsoft Translator is a free translation app for Windows, iOS, Android, and the web, offering text, speech, and multi-device conversation translation across 100+ languages. It includes camera and photo translation, offline language packs, and a phrasebook, and integrates directly into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Teams.

Behind the consumer app sits Azure AI Translator, a cloud API billed pay-as-you-go with a free tier of 2 million characters per month. Paid usage covers standard, document, and custom translation, and Microsoft also offers on-premises and disconnected container deployments for regulated industries that cannot use the public cloud.
