Nice work

Any usage restrictions or quotas ?

Details on how to get a subscription key ?

vknow360 · May 2, 2022, 9:56am

Yes, there are few restrictions on character limit per request, but there is no limit of no. of requests, fortunately.

It can be found here:

Thank you.

I am a nooby with MIT Inventor Extensions. Can you explain to me how to get the API Key?

See the procedure in Quickstart in post number 4 and follow the directions:
You need an active Azure subscription. If you don't have an Azure subscription, you can create one for free

Once you have your Azure subscription, create a Translator resource in the Azure portal.
After your resource deploys, select Go to resource and retrieve your key and endpoint.

Hello SteveJG:

Thank you for answering.

I went to create an account but is asking me for a credit card and says the services are free for 12 months. I do not know if Translation is one of the free for 12 months or free for ever on Tier 0.

So I wont risk it.

Thank you again

It is free only for 12 months.
After that you pay according to usage.

Hi there,
I have tried to replicate your basic code shown in section 4 where you call 'MicrosoftTranslator1.Translate' and I am receiving an error message stating;
"Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.util.iterator org.json.simple.jsonarray.iteratir()'on a nul object reference".

Azure account details and log in seem to be working.

Could I ask if there is something else I need to add to avoid the error?
