Major translation issues

[r.dziadusz]

I have upgraded to the beta to try to solve my issues but it seems that i'm not getting translations from Microsoft?

Here's the micorsoft test result:


I've double chaecked i have the MS ID correct!

Your Microsoft translation api ID is correct, this kind of error appears here: msdn-issue Please read it. But your google test looks good. Also if you pm your account acces I could seek for any internal problem

i see but i have always use google set and using api v2 so would i always hit my limit? i also have ggogle api v2 as the detection

Do I understand you correct - you didn't use Microsoft? It wasn't never turned on, on your forum? Please note that Microsoft have monthly limits, so of you reach your limit you have to wait until next time period. It is not daily limit. But if you never used Microsoft before then you shouldn't reach the limit. Please clarify - you are not using it now or you didn't use it at all.

Michael, i am currently NOT using Microsoft, i have vBET set to Use Google Only, Detection Google API V2, Use Google API V2, prior to that i used V1, running the link for Microsoft now produces a translation but its sporadic, if you consider you say they are monthly limits then of course my limits should not yet be reset until November 1st.

I do have my character limit for google set to 100,000 perday so with my settings above when i reach that limit and no longer get results from paid google would the free APIs then start producing results?

The limits are not on our side but on Microsoft side. Information that there is monthly limit is taken from here: InvalidOperationException: : ID=3644.V2_Json.TranslateArray.2485281C
Ant you are right I made little mistake - the full information is:

volume restrictions on free use, at 4 million characters a month and not more than 400K per hour

So you have also hourly limits. Sorry for little disinformation - I should read it more carefully. Does Microsoft have any other limits - please ask Microsoft. At this moment I'm not aware about other limits. If you got the error message form Microsoft then it means that you reach some of their limits. Please contact with Microsoft for more detailed information - it is them who gives you error for appropriate request. I cannot explain them. It is 3rd party. In case of wrong key error message is different what you can simply check.

Also please note that it doesn't have to be November 1st - we do not know details about when new time period is started. Is it per calendar month, or it is sum of last 30 days, or other way... Really have no idea how Microsoft manage it - please ask Microsoft if more details are needed. Anyway if it is form last 30 days then it would allow you each day to made new requests (if you didn't use whole limit in one day).

No. At this moment vBET asks for translation only one provider (depending on your forum configuration). If there is error in response we do not ask other provider. You can create new feature request for this if you feel it is important.

[Simon Lloyd]

Ok Michael, i'll start a feature request, you can mark this thread solved for me as it no longer serves any purpose

[vBET]

OK so - marked solved

Starting translation test MS
Test result: "InvalidOperationException: : ID=3641.V2_Json.Translate.365033CA"
Test error:
Connection time (ms): 237.756103516

I've tried to investigate this error more carefully but it is impossible.
You have to ask Microsoft yourself, becouse it could also be internal microsoft issue, if you are sure you didn't reach your limits:
To do that please write an email to : mtcont@microsoft.com
Describe your problem - use error from test
Send your Microsoft Translation API ID - this is mainly way i cannot do it by myself
Write your volume of translations sent to service in characters or MB/hour and chars or MB/day
