What Microsoft Document Translator is
Microsoft Document Translator is an API service for translating documents. Software can send document translation requests through its application interface, and glossary tools help guide terminology. The service is available on the API platform rather than as a standalone desktop or mobile application. Microsoft Document Translator is made by Microsoft Document Translator, headquartered in Redmond, Washington, USA, and founded in 1975. Pricing is paid, with no free plan. Azure F0 allows 2 million characters per month, with no price listed. Azure S1 bills document translation per million characters and image document translation per thousand images; its price is also not listed. This setup is aimed at organizations connecting document translation to their own software while applying glossary terms to translated material.
