"Today, we are excited to announce the first phase of the Skype Translator preview program. The preview program will kick-off with two spoken languages, Spanish and English, and 40+ instant messaging languages will be available to Skype customers who have signed-up via the Skype Translator sign-up page and are using Windows 8.1 on the desktop or device."
There's a video of it in action with two schools one in the US and one in Mexico. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G87pHe6mP0I
