You can install the Bing Translator Control from the Visual Studio Gallery.

To install the control

  3. In the search box at the top of the left pane, type Microsoft Bing Translator and hit <Enter>.

The Bing Translator Service uses the OAUTH protocol to manage authentication and track usage. The Bing Translator Control must therefore supply the web service with ClientId and ClientSecret values to satisfy the protocol requirements.

Once you have subscribed to the Translator Service, you can register an application with the marketplace. This both provides the ClientID and ClientSecret values for your application, and allows you to publish your application for sale on the marketplace.

  1. Go to Bing Translator service purchase page on Windows Azure Marketplace.

  2. On the Registration page, click the BUY or SIGN UP link that corresponds to the level of subscription you want.
