You can now translate email messages from other languages into your preferred language with the Translator feature. This is useful when you receive emails from people who speak different languages, or when you want to communicate with them in their language. To use this feature, open the message you want to translate and click on the Translate button on the ribbon. You can then choose a language from the menu or let Outlook detect the language automatically. You can also change your default translation settings from the Options menu.
