Instant Translation with Lync 2013

I was wondering if my Lync Client can translate my IM messages when i send the messages to other colleagues in their local language. I found the below work around to achieve my goal.

Open a Notepad and copy the below code and save it as Translate.Reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MicrosoftOffice\15.0\Lync\Addins\{2b26edf9-92e0-4d9c-9d7a-f772fcd4f31b}]
"Name"="Lync Conversation Translator"
"Parameters"=""
"ExtensibilityApplicationType"=dword:00000000
"ExtensibilityWindowSize"=dword:00000001
"DefaultContextPackage"=dword:00000000
"InternalURL"="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=68810&Lync=y"
"ExternalURL"="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=68810&Lync=y"


[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Lync\Security]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Lync\Security\Trusted Sites]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Lync\Security\Trusted Sites\conversationtranslator.cloudapp.net]
"http"=dword:00000001
"https"=dword:00000001


Right Click on the Translate.Reg and Click Merge and Click OK to update the registry entries

Exit and Restart Lync Client 2013

Once you start Lync 2013 you will find ... in the IM Conversation window, now you need to do the settings of yours and other user language. If you don't do then you will get below error


Once you provide the correct settings, you will be able to modify the language of your or others to which you are sending the IM message




Note: You must have Silverlight installed in your system
