Microsoft on Monday announced the first phase of its Skype Translator preview program, which initially will facilitate conversations between English and Spanish speakers.

Participants must run Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 Technical Preview on a desktop or tablet. Children in two schools -- one in Mexico City and one in Tacoma, Washington -- have tried out Skype Translator.
