Document Translation in Microsoft Azure Translator now generally available - Devdiscourse - Translation

Document Translation, a cloud-based feature of the Azure Translator service which was released in public preview back in February 2021 is now generally available, Microsoft announced on Thursday.

The service translates entire or batches of documents to and from 90 languages and dialects while preserving their original structure and data format. You can also apply custom glossaries during the translation of documents and custom models to ensure that specific words and phrases translate just the way you want.

To improve the translation experience, Microsoft has updated the service based on the feedback received during the preview.

"Document translation is the outcome of cocreation by customers actively participating in private and public preview programs and providing us insights on their use case scenarios," Microsoft wrote in the Tech Community Blog.

Document Translation supports a variety of file formats including:

  • .doc .docx, .ppt, .pptx, .xls, .xlsx, and .msg
  • .txt and .rtf
  • .html and .htm
  • .tsv, .tab, .csv
  • .xlf
  • .odt, .odp, and .ods

The service automatically detects the language of your document content and if they include more than one language, it will translate them all into the target language. In addition, you can translate documents into multiple languages in a single request.

Document Translation also allows you to translate single files or multiple files at the same time.

Apart from this, you can use Managed Identity or a Shared Access Signature to establish access between the service and storage and authenticate your translation request with Azure Active Directory or Azure API Management.
