How do I get my language supported?
Text Languages:
We add new languages periodically. In the process of adding a new language to the automatic translation system, the most important learning material is existing high-quality translations—the same text in two languages.
A significant amount, typically 4 to 5 million words of this type of text, is needed to build a reasonable-quality automatic translation system for a particular language pair. Find out how automatic translation works at www.microsofttranslator.com/AT
Speech Languages
Speech recognition is a totally different process than translation. It requires a whole new set of data (hundred of hours of recorded audios and their associated transcriptions) and trainings of our machine learning based engines to become available. Therefore, we cannot always deliver speech recognition as quickly as new supported languages become available for Microsoft Translator.
We continue to release improvements to the quality of our existing languages and to expand on our coverage of languages from around the world so that more and more people can talk to the Microsoft Translator in their own language.
Stay tuned on our blog (www.aka.ms/Translatorblog), Facebook page (www.facebook.com/microsofttranslator), or Twitter feed (www.twitter.com/MStranslator) for updates to our language coverage.

Arabic dialects
You should have multiple dialects for Arabic
6 votesHi,
A while ago you have asked Microsoft to add Arabic dialects.
We are happy to announce that we have released Levantine, an Arabic dialect spoken in countries such as Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria, as its latest AI-powered speech translation language.
It will help businesses, educators, travelers, and non-profits communicate across the language barrier with Levantine speakers during meetings, presentations, and Skype calls.
Please learn more about it here:

Chinese Pinyin
You should allow translation from Chinese pinyin into other languages. Google translate has that function

Bing Translator for Mandarin to Spanish needs a major overhaul.
Bing Translator for Mandarin to Spanish cannot translate full sentences at all, and occasionally fails on single words. Furthermore, it does not show any pinyin at all, and does not show any alternative translations. At least 1,500 people speak Mandarin and 650 million speak Spanish. Needs to improve.

How can I save the words which I translates
In Google Translator, I can save the words Which I get, after translation
2 votesThanks for your message. It depends on the app you are using. If you are using the phone app then you can save a translation by tapping the pin icon. If you later want to look up the saved translation just tap on the clock at the bottom left of our main screen.
