    Alternatively, from within the chat, you can click or tap on the chat header to get to your contact’s profile.
  2. Click or tap on Send translation requestto enable the Translated Conversation.
  3. A notification will be sent to your contact that you want to enable Translated Conversations. They will need to select Accept to continue.
    Note: If your contact isn’t on the latest version of Skype, they will not get the invitation.
  4. Once your invitation is accepted, your instant messages and calls will be translated to your chosen language.
    Note: The Spoken language in Skype will initially be defaulted to your Device language, however you can customize this at any time in Settings.
  5. During your Translated Conversation, Skype will display the messages as they are translated but also give you the option to Show original
