If you constantly send Skype to your family, friends, colleagues or clients abroad, you would know how helpless you feel when the Skype translator is not working.
The Skype translator stopped working for many users in November 2019, when Microsoft broke the news that they had discontinued the Translator bot. However, Microsoft revamped it and brought it better than ever.
When the translation feature first appeared on stage in 2015, it was a standalone app, but Microsoft integrated it into Skype the following year, so it’s now a built-in feature. If the Skype translator is not working in 2020 for you, here is what to do.
