I am trying to use the Bing Translation API, but I am confused. There seems to be much possibilities (old and new ones) but I don't understand what I have to do. Can someone please help me? I want to send a HTTP Request like http://api.microsofttranslator.com/V2/Ajax.svc/Translate?appId=<AppId>&to=de&text=World and get the translation. Where to get the AppId? What I have done so far: Signed in for the free API useage ( https://datamarket.azure.com/dataset/bing/microsofttranslator ) Created an App: https://datamarket.azure.com/developer/applications Now I have the Client_ID and Client_Secret

Using TranslateArray2, I am able to get alignment data for most languages I want, but not for English to Chinese (zh).

It is not a space, because I trimed it before returning the data. The ' ' character turned out to be %EF%BB%BF. I wonder why this happened, maybe a bug from Microsoft? How can I remove this %EF%BB%BF in PHP? You could use substr to only get the rest without the UTF-8 BOM : // if it’s binary UTF-8

this issue seems specific to microsofttranslator.com so please ... any answers, if you can test against it ... Using the following URL for translation: http://api.microsofttranslator.com/V2/Ajax.svc/TranslateArray .. I send via cURL some fantastic arguments, and get back the following result: [ { "From":"en", "OriginalTextSentenceLengths":[13], "TranslatedText":"我是最好的", "TranslatedTextSentenceLengths":[5] }, { "From":"en", "OriginalTextSentenceLengths":[16], "TranslatedText":"你是最好的", "TranslatedTextSentenceLengths":[5] } ] When I use json_decode($output, true); on the output from cURL, json
