Since Satya Nadella took the reins of Microsoft in February, he is leaving his mark by demonstrating his ability to make the software giant as relevant today as it was back when it promised to put a personal computer on every desk and in every home.

Nadella effort now is focused on re-energizing the 40-year-old Microsoft's corporate culture that has missed the biggest waves in the industry including search and mobile.

After a hard work finally on Tuesday, Nadella brought his Skype team onto the stage and presented a terrific new technology that emulate the Start Trek universal communicator: Skype translation.

Essentially you can speak to someone who speaks a different language and be understood. Skype adds the other person's translations for you in subtitle format at the bottom of the screen. Although it's not an immediate translation as you need to wait until the other person is done speaking before the service starts whirring away.  

Microsoft isn't sure how many languages will be included initially. The company will release new languages as they meet the bar for translation quality.

This technology if well implemented has the potential to revolutionize the business world.

It will be made available for all Skype users apparently within the end of the year.
