    Microsoft account requirements

    Ensure that you are registered with Microsoft and obtain the credential information. For more information, see Microsoft documentation.

    For information on Microsoft Translator Text API, see the Microsoft documentation.

    Connection and credential alias requirements

    IntegrationHub uses aliases to manage connection and credential information. Using an alias eliminates the need to configure multiple credentials and connection information profiles when using multiple environments. If the connection or credential information changes, you do not need to update any actions that use the connection. For more information, see Credentials and connection information.

    To use the spoke connection aliases, create an associated connection record and a credential record for each alias.

    This spoke uses the MicrosoftTranslation alias (sn_ms_trans_spoke.MicrosoftTranslation) to authorize actions.

    The following are the connection alias requirements.
    • Connection type: HTTP
    • Connection URL: For example, https://api.cognitive.microsofttranslator.com.
      Note:
      The URL provided here is a sample only. Microsoft translation customers may need to use custom API URLs or virtual network type API URLs, even when they do not subscribe to a virtual network. Microsoft customers who use multi-service or regional translation services also need to know their Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Region attribute, and their API URL may contain a regional reference. Check your Azure portal for this information. Refer to the Microsoft documentation for further details.

    Perform the following tasks to connect to the Microsoft translation services and use them to dynamically translate your text.
