Detect fails if a subset of the array cannot be successfully detected
Using v3 API, the detect method throw an error (HTTP 400 Bad Request, "The language of the input text could not be determined." if _any one element_ of the array cannot be detected. This causes a big problem when trying to detect the most prevalent language in a big chunk of a document.
If I manually send it a subset of the array that I know it can successfully detect, it does return a response. Adding the ambiguous elements back into the array causes it to fail the entire array.
Would like to have an option to have it return…

translation service does not handle the Breton language
hello, your translation service does not handle the Breton language (ISO code 639-1/2 br/bre).
The result is that texts written in this language on sites using the Microsoft solution (Twitter for example), indicate that the texts are written in languages with no link (Spanish, Dutch, Haitian Creole, Romanian, Norwegian, English ...), and the automatic translation of Microsoft is inconsistent. Users on Twitter regularly complain that the Breton language is not even identified as such.
Can you tell me when did you plan to add it to the list of supported languages?
If you do not add it immediately for translation,…

Real time sentimental analysis of speech
We have different types of services to do speech to text transformation and to do text sentimental analysis, can we have one service which provide us real time sentimental analysis of conversation? Services like this one are already provided by https://www.nexmo.com/use-cases/real-time-sentiment-analysis and its very useful for customer support scenario. Performance is a key factor here because once the customer is left we can't do much with results of sentimental analysis.

The new layout of the bing translator on the site is a step backwards.
I normally use Bing to translate Cantonese/Chinese text.
It's nice that you are trying to update things to compete with google translate but atleast make it so it doesn't auto select the entire 2k text that i input whenever i click on one single word.
Also, can you change the text to speech config back to male voice? the female voice for chinese is god awful because the woman speaking doesn't pronounce the words properly.

Use KEY1 instead of AccessToken
Please provide the PHP HTTP Sample with the following updated function which uses the KEY1 instead of AccessToken.
I use it and it works perfectly.
function AzureTranslate($key1, $lang_source='en', $lang_target='fr', $text_to_translate_in_lang_source){
try {
//Create the authorization Header string.
//$authHeader = "Authorization: Bearer ". $accessToken;
$authHeader = "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: ". $key1;
//Set the params.//
$fromLanguage = $lang_source;
$toLanguage = $lang_target;
$inputStr = $text_to_translate_in_lang_source;
$contentType = 'text/plain';
$category = 'general';
$params = "text=".urlencode($inputStr)."&to=".$toLanguage."&from=".$fromLanguage."&contentType=".$contentType."&category=".$category;
$translateUrl = "https://api.microsofttranslator.com/v2/Http.svc/Translate?$params";
//Create the Translator Object.
$translatorObj = new HTTPTranslator();
//Get the curlResponse.
$curlResponse = $translatorObj->curlRequest($translateUrl, $authHeader);//Interprets a string of XML into an object.

Thank you for using the Microsoft Translator Text API. The Translator API is now available in the Azure portal and we only support REST (we do not support SOAP or AJAX).
The DataMarket platform retired earlier this year in April and the Translator API is provisioned through the Azure portal.
You can find the documentation to get started here at http://docs.microsofttranslator.com
Code examples are in GitHub at https://github.com/MIcrosoftTranslatorHope this helps.
Thank you,
your Microsoft Translator team -
Actual system too complicated. Simplify, simplify and simplify again
From memoQ, in the Microsoft MT plugin settings, configure the "subscribe to Microsoft Translator" option so that one is automatically registered and can start working right away. We are translators, not computers nerds.
2 votesPlease make this suggestion directly to memoQ. We appreciate memoQ providing the option of Microsoft Translator in their software. The decision must be made by memoQ.
Thank you for your interest and use of the Microsoft Translator service.

Translator Text API does not translate correctly.
Hello. I translate from Russian into English and noticed a bug:
1. погода в Гатчине сегодня = weather in London today
2. погода в Гатчине сейчас = weather in Markham now
Гатчина is a small town in Russia and it should not be translated. There are a lot of cities where your translater makes such errors. Google translator does not make such mistakes. Thank you.4 votes -
Support dictionaly only feature for DNN mode
The DNN output improve is so great. The more needed capabilty to use complex business domain is dictionally as customable space. We strongly want to Translator Hub for DNN mode. That's dramatically reduce our manual process for translation workflow.
