Not my language. Not a problem.

Okay, this one is pretty cool. Remember in the settings you can have Copilot read things to you. And remember how I said you can speak to Copilot and it would interpret your language. You can use Copilot to translate a conversation between you and someone else in real-time. No more getting exhausted trying to tell your gardener that you want blueberries, not peas. That's an awful stereotype... Not all German men like to grow peas. (You see what I did there? You assumed my gardener was Mexican, didn't you? Now who's a stereotyper? Stereotypist? I don't maybe I just made up both of those words)

Check it out.

"Please translate everything I say in English to Spanish. And please translate everything I say in Spanish to English. Okay?"

Then click the microphone button whenever you need to translate. Boda Bing. Boda boom.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy or for my Spanish speaking audience: Fácil y sencillo, como exprimir un limón.

And it will go both ways. Hola!

That's about all the Spanish I know. It will even see that you aren't talking anymore any automatically end the chat message.

Pretty cool right?
