One of the things we’re focused on with Bing is bringing the answer you’re looking for to the top of your search result to save you the time of wading through a sea of blue links. Whether it’s getting the answer to a conversion or checking on your flight status, instant answers get you the information you want, quickly. Today, we’re excited to announce the newest instant answer in Bing, the translation instant answer. If you’re looking to impress your friends around the globe, you can now buff up on some common phrases in various languages using the translator instant answer in Bing.
Here is a brief look at how it works. Type in the phrase you’d like to translate and to what language. For example: “happy birthday in French.” And voila!

Hey, Bing translation is not so sound. I tried to translate from German to English, results are sometimes good, sometimes bad. So please do really develop it as an 'Excellent Web Translator'.
I like Bing and have high expectations. But let's not fool ourselves the maps, especially on mobile devices is a little lacking. Finding a restaurant on another popular search (which remain nameless) will bring up more options.
keep at it...we are cheering you on!
innovation is little by little, and slowly but surely. i love bing. keep binging! i keep keep binging now!
microsofttranslator is woking fine but i need more language like i am from India so i need Hindi (national language of India)
It looks like Bing is moving faster then live used to.
keep up the good work.
How can Bing help my blog? What features of Bing can I use for my blog?
If Bing could create a "document" search engine that searches for academic papers, scribd posts, and public domain books, that'd be awesome! Good Luck Bing!
This translation tool has been long-awaited. I just hope Microsoft will break barriers with Bing.
Translation is neat but not quite there. Further it misses some basic semantic needs of the user. It behaves more like a programming construct. Eg Translate I Love You Spanish or translate I love you for spanish or possible inputs and these do not result into any meaningful results.
Beautifully done! Thanks very much.
