Translates text and supported documents through Azure. There are synchronous and batch modes for documents.
Folder of documents for another language
The team produces the same instruction in several formats. Azure Translator provides an API for text and a separate document translation mode while maintaining the structure of supported formats. Microsoft distinguishes between a synchronous request for an individual document and asynchronous package processing. The package requires source and target storage. Support for formats and languages should be checked before setting up.
Translation of the application interface through a text API and translation of the document with tables require different checks. In this example, the location of partitions and saving the composition of files are important.
Check one version before processing folder
Create a tutorial with a table of details, a product name and a note that applies to only one version. Translate one file and open the result in the source application. Check the headers, row order and parameters in the table. If you use a glossary, check one term with two meanings. A single translation is appropriate only where the term really means the same thing.
When a single check is passed, handle several formats in test containers. Make sure that each file appears in the right place and the original version remains available.
Access, storage and payment
Azure requires permissions for translation and storage. The documentation describes different methods of authorization. When choosing a tariff, consider the type of operation and the size of materials. For updated instructions, write down which source and which version of the glossary were used so that the next processing does not mix the editors.
