How to get Microsoft translator API key

Question

I'd like to use Microsoft translator in CAT. It has a default translation machine, but I intend to change to different machines and compare which one is better. Then to set up, I need API key for MS translator. How can I get that? I am new to cloud something. So could you explain step by step and easily, please?

Hi @Cosmojinn , Thanks for using Microsoft Q&A Platform.

To get an API key for Microsoft Translator, you need to create a Translator resource in Azure. Here are the steps to create a Translator resource and get an API key: https://portal.azure.com/#create/Microsoft.CognitiveServicesTextTranslation

1. Go to the Azure portal and sign into your account.
2. In the left-hand menu, click on "Create a resource".
3. Then search for "Translator" and select "Translator" from the list of results. Select "Create" button to create a new Translator resource.
4. In the "Create Translator" page, fill in the required information such as subscription, resource group, and resource name and select the pricing tier that best suits your needs.
5. Review and accept the terms and conditions, then click on the "Create" button to create the resource.
6. Once the resource is created, go to the "Keys and Endpoint" page to get your API key and endpoint URL. Once you have your API key, you can use it to access the Microsoft Translator API.

Is this something you are looking for? Let me know if you need more information.

I hope this helps.
