Azure DocumentTranslation client library for Java - version 1.0.0

Document Translation is a cloud-based machine translation feature of the Azure AI Translator service. You can translate multiple and complex documents across all supported languages and dialects while preserving original document structure and data format. The Document translation API supports two translation processes:

Asynchronous batch translation supports the processing of multiple documents and large files. The batch translation process requires an Azure Blob storage account with storage containers for your source and translated documents.

Synchronous single file supports the processing of single file translations. The file translation process doesn't require an Azure Blob storage account. The final response contains the translated document and is returned directly to the calling client.

Documentation

Various documentation is available to help you get started

Getting started

Prerequisites

Adding the package to your product

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.azure</groupId>
    <artifactId>azure-ai-translation-document</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>

Authentication

Interaction with the service using the client library begins with creating an instance of the DocumentTranslationClient class. You will need an API key or TokenCredential and Endpoint to instantiate a document translation client object. Similarly for SingleDocumentTranslationclient

Managed identities for Azure resources are service principals that create a Microsoft Entra identity and specific permissions for Azure managed resources. Managed identities are a safer way to grant access to storage data and replace the requirement for you to include shared access signature tokens (SAS) with your source and target URLs. Here is more information on [Managed identities for Document Translation] managed_identities_for_document_translation.

Create DocumentTranslationClient and SingleDocumentTranslationClient using Azure Active Directory credential

Azure SDK for Java supports an Azure Identity package, making it easy to get credentials from Microsoft identity platform.

Authentication with AAD requires some initial setup:

  • Add the Azure Identity package
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.azure</groupId>
    <artifactId>azure-identity</artifactId>
    <version>1.14.2</version>
</dependency>

After setup, you can choose which type of credential from azure-identity to use. As an example, DefaultAzureCredential can be used to authenticate the client: Set the values of the client ID, tenant ID, and client secret of the AAD application as environment variables: AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_TENANT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET.

Authorization is easiest using DefaultAzureCredential. It finds the best credential to use in its running environment. For more information about using Azure Active Directory authorization with DocumentTranslation service, please refer to the associated documentation.

String endpoint = System.getenv("DOCUMENT_TRANSLATION_ENDPOINT");

TokenCredential defaultCredential = new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build();
DocumentTranslationClient client = new DocumentTranslationClientBuilder()
    .endpoint(endpoint)
    .credential(defaultCredential)
    .buildClient();
String endpoint = System.getenv("DOCUMENT_TRANSLATION_ENDPOINT");

TokenCredential defaultCredential = new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build();

SingleDocumentTranslationClient client = new SingleDocumentTranslationClientBuilder()
    .endpoint(endpoint)
    .credential(defaultCredential)
    .buildClient();

Create a DocumentTranslationClient or SingleDocumentTranslationClient using endpoint and API key credential

You can get the endpoint, API key and Region from the Cognitive Services resource or Document Translator service resource information in the [Azure Portal][azure_portal].

Alternatively, use the [Azure CLI][azure_cli] snippet below to get the API key from the Translator service resource.

az cognitiveservices account keys list --resource-group <your-resource-group-name> --name <your-resource-name>

Please refer to these samples for creating DocumentTranslationClientWithAPIKey and SingleDocumentTranslationClientWithAPIKey.

Key concepts

DocumentTranslationClient and DocumentTranslationAsyncClient

A DocumentTranslationClient is the primary interface for developers using the Document Translator client library. It provides both synchronous operations to access a specific use of document translator operations, such as get supported formats, get translation status, get translations status, get document status, get documents status, cancel translation or batch translation.

For asynchronous operations use DocumentTranslationAsyncClient.

A SingleDocumentTranslationClient provides an interface for developers to synchronously translate a single document.

For asynchronous operations use SingleDocumentTranslationAsyncClient.

Input

A batch request element (BatchRequest), is a single unit of input to be processed by the document translation models in the document Translator service. Operations on DocumentTranslationClient may take a single batchRequest element or a collection of elements.

Examples

The following section provides several code snippets using the client created above), and covers the main features present in this client library. Although most of the snippets below make use of asynchronous service calls, keep in mind that the Azure.AI.Translation.Document package supports both synchronous and asynchronous APIs.

Get Supported Formats

Gets a list of document and glossary formats supported by the Document Translation feature. The list includes common file extensions and content-type if using the upload API.

List<FileFormat> documentFileFormats = documentTranslationClient.getSupportedFormats(FileFormatType.DOCUMENT);
for (FileFormat fileFormat : documentFileFormats) {
    System.out.println("FileFormat:" + fileFormat.getFormat());
    System.out.println("FileExtensions:" + fileFormat.getFileExtensions());
    System.out.println("ContentTypes:" + fileFormat.getContentTypes());
    System.out.println("Type:" + fileFormat.getType());
}

List<FileFormat> glossaryFileFormats = documentTranslationClient.getSupportedFormats(FileFormatType.GLOSSARY);
for (FileFormat fileFormat : glossaryFileFormats) {
    System.out.println("FileFormat:" + fileFormat.getFormat());
    System.out.println("FileExtensions:" + fileFormat.getFileExtensions());
    System.out.println("ContentTypes:" + fileFormat.getContentTypes());
    System.out.println("Type:" + fileFormat.getType());
}

Please refer to the service documentation for a conceptual discussion of documentFormats and [glossaryFormats][glossaryFormats_doc].

Batch Translation

Executes an asynchronous batch translation request. The method requires an Azure Blob storage account with storage containers for your source and translated documents.

String sourceUrl = "https://myblob.blob.core.windows.net/sourceContainer";
TranslationSource translationSource = new TranslationSource(sourceUrl);
translationSource.setFilter(new DocumentFilter().setPrefix("pre").setSuffix(".txt"));
translationSource.setLanguage("en");
translationSource.setStorageSource(TranslationStorageSource.AZURE_BLOB);

String targetUrl1 = "https://myblob.blob.core.windows.net/destinationContainer1";
TranslationTarget translationTarget1 = new TranslationTarget(targetUrl1, "fr");
translationTarget1.setCategory("general");

TranslationGlossary translationGlossary = new TranslationGlossary(
    "https://myblob.blob.core.windows.net/myglossary/en_fr_glossary.xlf",
    "XLIFF");
List<TranslationGlossary> translationGlossaries = new ArrayList<>();
translationGlossaries.add(translationGlossary);
translationTarget1.setGlossaries(translationGlossaries);
translationTarget1.setStorageSource(TranslationStorageSource.AZURE_BLOB);

String targetUrl2 = "https://myblob.blob.core.windows.net/destinationContainer2";
TranslationTarget translationTarget2 = new TranslationTarget(targetUrl2, "fr");
translationTarget2.setCategory("general");
translationTarget2.setStorageSource(TranslationStorageSource.AZURE_BLOB);

List<TranslationTarget> translationTargets = new ArrayList<>();
translationTargets.add(translationTarget1);
translationTargets.add(translationTarget2);

DocumentTranslationInput batchRequest = new DocumentTranslationInput(translationSource, translationTargets);
batchRequest.setStorageType(StorageInputType.FOLDER);

SyncPoller<TranslationStatusResult, TranslationStatusResult> response = documentTranslationClient
    .beginTranslation(TestHelper.getStartTranslationDetails(batchRequest));
TranslationStatusResult translationStatus = response.waitForCompletion().getValue();

Please refer to the service documentation for a conceptual discussion of batchTranslation.

Single Document Translation

Synchronously translate a single document.

DocumentFileDetails document = createDocumentContent();
DocumentTranslateContent documentTranslateContent = new DocumentTranslateContent(document);
String targetLanguage = "hi";

BinaryData response = singleDocumentTranslationClient.translate(targetLanguage, documentTranslateContent);
String translatedResponse = response.toString();
System.out.println("Translated Response: " + translatedResponse);

Please refer to the service documentation for a conceptual discussion of singleDocumentTranslation.

translationTarget2.setCategory("general");
translationTarget2.setStorageSource(TranslationStorageSource.AZURE_BLOB);

List<TranslationTarget> translationTargets = new ArrayList<>();
translationTargets.add(translationTarget1);
translationTargets.add(translationTarget2);

DocumentTranslationInput batchRequest = new DocumentTranslationInput(translationSource, translationTargets);
batchRequest.setStorageType(StorageInputType.FOLDER);

SyncPoller<TranslationStatusResult, TranslationStatusResult> response = documentTranslationClient
    .beginTranslation(TestHelper.getStartTranslationDetails(batchRequest));

String translationId = response.poll().getValue().getId();
documentTranslationClient.cancelTranslation(translationId);
TranslationStatusResult translationStatus = documentTranslationClient
    .getTranslationStatus(translationId);

Troubleshooting

When you interact with the Document Translator Service using the DocumentTranslator client library, errors returned by the service correspond to the same HTTP status codes returned for REST API requests.

For example, if you submit a document translation request without a target translate language, a 400 error is returned, indicating "Bad Request".

Next steps

Samples showing how to use this client library are available in this GitHub repository. Samples are provided for each main functional area.
