The folks over at Twittter sure seem busy this week. The micro-blogging service has tweaked its apps for Windows Phone as well as BlackBerry to provide them with some interesting new features.
First up, Windows Phone is fast turning into a platform Twitter is taking seriously as far as fitting it with updates is concerned. The newest update, which pushes the app to version 2.2.0.0, is available for Windows Phone 7.5 and Windows Phone 8 from the Windows Phone Store.
Updates galore!
The app will now allow you to see translations of foreign language tweets on your timeline, in your preferred language. This built-in translation feature will be powered by the Microsoft Translator API.
This addition comes not too long after Twitter for Windows Phone was given the visual treatment earlier this month. The update provided support for Vine as well as brand new photo filters for images. The feature finally made its way to Windows Phone and brought along eight new filters with it.
Twitter has also updated the BlackBerry version of its app; this update is also centred around image enhancement. While there are no filters, Twitter for BlackBerry brings along image tweaks like photo card support, indicators for Retweets, Favourtites and other miscellaneous indications. When you now expand a tweet on your BlackBerry devices, you will be able to view images in-line.
