Microsoft has unveiled the update of its Translator app that should make it easier to communicate in a foreign language when the users are traveling.
According to The Next Web, the new app will be released for iOS and WatchOS 2 devices.
The watch app will automatically show the users the common phrases in the local language, depending on the user's location and the time of day,
The users can also use the Time Travel feature to view phrases for other times of day.
In addition, the update will allow the users to play back recent and pinned translations through the watch speaker, making it easy to learn and incorporate phrases into their conversations in the local language.
The features will be available when WatchOS 2 arrives on September 16.
