Just in time for the global and multilingual World Cup, Twitter has broadened its use of Microsoft's Bing translation services to iPhones and iPads.

The company's app for Apple's mobile devices has now begun showing an option to show a translated version of tweets below the native-language version. As with Twitter's Android app translation test, which CNET first reported in May, the translation doesn't show in the stream of tweets shown in the app's timeline, but does when you tap on an individual tweet.Twitter Experiments With Bing Language Translation in its iOS App [cnet.com]

Twitter's move is also a feather in Microsoft's cap since it's using Bing's translation service.
