Twitter brings Bing-powered translation tool to app

Introducing yet another Twitter tool, the microblogging site has integrated a translation tool into its Android app and Web version. The tool is powered by Microsoft Bing. You can now read tweets from languages you don’t understand. All you need to do is tap on the globe icon within the tweet and then you’re all set. It currently supports over 40 languages. You can opt out of the feature if it bothers you.

We're introducing Tweet translation with @Bing Translator so you can read Tweets in multiple languages: https://t.co/RuraBeYa5S
