Skype for Business - Translator

A long while back, it was announced that Skype and soon Skype for business was going to use Bing translator to enable translation real time. While the video would be nice my biggest want is just translation for the IM. We have a sister company in China and I would love to use skype for business to enable better communication. However when I tested it out internally it did not translate the Chinese. Has this been scrapped or do I need to enable it somewhere?

        Hi

         

        For IM conversation translation only you can use the Lync Conversation Translator.

         

        First download the conversation translator application: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26136
