TranslateArrayResponse[] Microsoft.Translator.TranslateArray(appId, texts, from, to, options); |
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
appId |
Required. If the Authorization header is used, leave the appid field empty else specify a string containing "Bearer" + " " + access token. |
|
texts |
Required. An array containing the texts for translation. All strings must be of the same language. The total of all texts to be translated must not exceed 10000 characters. The maximum number of array elements is 2000. |
|
from |
Optional. A string representing the language code to translate the text from. If left empty the response will include the result of language auto-detection. |
|
to |
Required. A string representing the language code to translate the text to. |

The following table describes required and optional request headers.
| Request Header | Description |
|---|---|
|
Authorization |
Required. Specify the the value of access_token in format "Bearer" + " " + Access Token Value |
- Error : Indicates an error if one has occurred. Otherwise set to null.
- OriginalSentenceLengths : An array of integers indicating the length of each sentence in the original source text. The length of the array indicates the number of sentences.
- TranslatedText : The translated text.
- TranslatedSentenceLengths : An array of integers indicating the length of each sentence in the translated text. The length of the array indicates the number of sentences.
