Fix the Apple Watch app. It STILL crashes with any attempted translation, recognizing English, then crashing returning to home screen before any translation.

Your request to slow down the speed at which a translation is spoken is now available on both Microsoft Translator for Android (app version 3.1.252 and higher) and Microsoft Translator for iOS (app version 3.0.8 and higher).
You can now translate a sentence from any of our supported languages (Find a list here: http://www.aka.ms/translatorlanguages) to one of the following languages and slow down the audio speed:

Please add option for favorite languages
I normally work with English, German, Polish, French and Spanish (the languages I speak which I call "my languages") and very seldom I need finding a translation from other language. One day I needed to translate something to Portuguese and another day, something from Turkish, and now I cannot find the way to get rid of them from the language buttons, where I'd like to always see "my languages". How can I do to set the buttons to show only my favorite languages? (and whenever required, and only then, show another language that I might need occasionally to later return,…
100 votesHi,
Thanks for your vote on the “Favorite languages” forum post.
The favorite languages feature in the Microsoft Translator app works as follows: When you open the text translation part of your app you will see that the last languages you translated from and to is on your screen. Also, when you tap on e.g. the from-language you will see the Recent languages you used at the top of the list.
This works the same for Speech and Camera translations.
Please let us know if this works for the way you use Translator.

The discoverability of your web service is bad.
The main reason I am using google translate is because it is easier to find that service on the web.
I just type translate and it comes as a suggestion as opposed to translator which never comes as a suggestion.
translate.google.com
as opposed to

or http://www.bing.com/translator42 votesThanks for pointing this out to us.
When you search Translate on Google they put their own translator on top.
When you search Translate on Bing you will find both services.

Please know that automatic Translations are usually of a lower quality than professionally translated texts, however the software learns from corrections and constantly improves its output. It can make errors, especially when the phrase lacks context.

You can use the Microsoft Translator app while offline in 40+ languages. Please find the list of available languages here: aka.ms/translatorlanguages
To be able to use the app while offline you need to prepare by downloading a language pack. e.g. if you want to translate from Japanese to French you will need to download both French and Japanese language packs while on a Wi-Fi connection.

Auto-detect persistence
It would be nice if the system just stayed in auto-detect instead of defaulting to the new language after auto-detecting for those of us that translate a lot of different languages.
