Start batch translation

项目
05/31/2024

Reference
Feature: Azure AI Translator → Document Translation
API Version: 2024-05-01
HTTP method: POST

Use the Start Translation method to execute an asynchronous batch translation request.
The method requires an Azure Blob storage account with storage containers for your source and translated documents.

Tip

This method returns the job id parameter for the get-translation-status, get-documents-status, get-document-status, and cancel-translation request query strings.

You can find the job id in the POST start-batch-translation method response Header Operation-Location URL value. The alphanumeric string following the /document/ parameter is the operation's job id:

Response header	Response URL
Operation-Location	{document-translation-endpoint}/translator/document/`9dce0aa9-78dc-41ba-8cae-2e2f3c2ff8ec`?api-version=2024-05-01

You can also use a get-translations-status request to retrieve a list of translation jobs and their ids.

Request URL

Important

All API requests to the Document Translation feature require a custom domain endpoint that is located on your resource overview page in the Azure portal.

  curl -i -X POST "{document-translation-endpoint}/translator/document/batches?api-version={date}"

Request headers

Request headers are:

Headers	Description	Condition
Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key	Your Translator service API key from the Azure portal.	Required
Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Region	The region where your resource was created.	• Required when using a regional (geographic) resource like West US. &bullet.
Content-Type	The content type of the payload. The accepted value is application/json or charset=UTF-8.	• Required

BatchRequest (body)

Each request can contain multiple documents and must contain a source and target container for each document. Source media types: application/json, text/json, application/*+json.
The prefix and suffix filter (if supplied) are used to filter folders. The prefix is applied to the subpath after the container name.
Glossaries can be included in the request. If the glossary is invalid or unreachable during translation, an error is indicated in the document status.
If a file with the same name already exists in the target destination, the job fails.
The targetUrl for each target language must be unique.

Translating all documents in a container

{
    "inputs": [
        {
            "source": {
                "sourceUrl": "https://my.blob.core.windows.net/source-en?{SAS-token-query-string}"
            },
            "targets": [

                    "targetUrl": "https://my.blob.core.windows.net/target-fr?{SAS-token-query-string}",
                    "language": "fr"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Translating all documents in a container applying glossaries

{
    "inputs": [
        {
            "source": {
                "sourceUrl": "https://my.blob.core.windows.net/source-en?{SAS-token-query-string}"
            },
            "targets": [
                {
                    "targetUrl": "https://my.blob.core.windows.net/target-fr?{SAS-token-query-string}",
                    "language": "fr",
                    "glossaries": [
                        {
                            "glossaryUrl": "https://my.blob.core.windows.net/glossaries/en-fr.xlf?{SAS-token-query-string}",
                            "format": "xliff",
                            "version": "1.2"
                        }

                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Translating specific folder in a container

Make sure you specify the folder name (case sensitive) as prefix in filter.

{
    "inputs": [
        {
            "source": {
                "sourceUrl": "https://my.blob.core.windows.net/source-en?{SAS-token-query-string}",
                "filter": {
                    "prefix": "MyFolder/"
                }
            },
            "targets": [
                {
                    "targetUrl": "https://my.blob.core.windows.net/target-fr?{SAS-token-query-string}",
                    "language": "fr"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Translating specific document in a container

Specify "storageType": File.
Create source URL & SAS token for the specific blob/document.
Specify the target filename as part of the target URL – though the SAS token is still for the container.

This sample request shows a single document translated into two target languages.

{
    "inputs": [
        {
            "storageType": "File",
            "source": {
                "sourceUrl": "https://my.blob.core.windows.net/source-en/source-english.docx?{SAS-token-query-string}"
            },
            "targets": [
                {
                    "targetUrl": "https://my.blob.core.windows.net/target/try/Target-Spanish.docx?{SAS-token-query-string}",
                    "language": "es"
                },
                {
                    "targetUrl": "https://my.blob.core.windows.net/target/try/Target-German.docx?{SAS-token-query-string}",
                    "language": "de"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}
