I have just finished translating the latest version of Skype to Norwegian bokmål. From the strings that I translated, I could see that a major update is on it’s way.

Skype will in the future have support for voicemail.

A bigger coming change in Skype seems to be the possibility to choose between various account types: Skype, SkypeOut and SkypePlus. The two last ones will not be available for free, and will subscription services and let you call to ordinary phones.

A third feature that seems to be coming is the possibility to record a conversation, and then later play it back from within the application.

The latest available version has some fixes and Italian language support.

If you haven’t tried Skype yet then do so! It exists for Windows and PocketPC, and a MacOS X version is under development.
