It's unclear if the missing languages will be added over time, but we've reached out to Microsoft for clarification. Skype Translator supported 13 spoken languages, and over 50 in text form. However, according to the support page, Translated Conversations support 11 languages, with no distinction between spoken and written languages. In terms of usability, this could be an improvement, since the Skype Translator bot would essentially count as an additional member of the chat that needs to be added to the conversation. Now, the bot is being killed off and being replaced with built-in translated conversations. However, Microsoft completely rebuilt Skype last year, and since then, the feature has been available through the Slype Translator bot, which is responsible for sending a translated message after the original one. Skype Translator was introduced in 2015 as a standalone app, and built into the main Skype app for desktop in 2016.
Skype has been able to translate conversations for a few years, but the feature was called Skype Translator, and that's changing now. As has been the case with most recent Skype updates, the list of changes is very small, but there's something interesting, a new feature Translated Conversations.
