Announcing our new Microsoft Translator BLOCK

Functions allows you to easily integrate 3rd party APIs and services into your PubNub applications by way of the BLOCKS Catalog – our collection of prebuilt microservices.

Combined with PubNub, Translator lets you quickly and accurately translate natural text and speech into a number of different languages with no additional servers or logic required. With Functions, all language translation takes place in the network.
