  1. multiple screens

    Presentation translator is great if you are displaying using mirrored screens, however it does not display when using presenter view and dual screens. Many presenters use presenter view, and it would be useful to still be able to use presenter view and translator at the same time

  2. Why does it only work when PowerPoint is in full screen? I want to be able to minimize PPT and continue running subtitles!

    Why does it only work when PowerPoint is in full screen? I want to be able to minimize PPT and continue running subtitles when I'm using other programs in my classroom. I rarely use PointPoint, but it's not user-friendly in a mathematics classroom.

  8. Part of translation text is masked by *** in Conversation function

    I feel very convinient about Conversation function in Microsoft Translator Apps.
    But sometimes I have problems when using conversation feature.
    Part of translation text is masked by *** in Conversation feature when translate Japanese to Vietnamese.

    For example, Conversation master posted 肉(It means "meat" in Japanese language) in Microsoft Translator(Windows Store App).
    It become display "***" in participant devices.

    It seems 肉 is NG Word in Conversation feature.
    Other some word become same problems.
