Frequently Asked Questions about azure-ai-translation-ts

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I translate text in a TypeScript app using Azure REST SDKs?▼

You can translate text in TypeScript by instantiating clients from the @azure-rest/ai-translation-text SDK with your endpoint and API key. This provides a ready-to-use client surface for text translation, transliteration, and language detection workflows.

Can I use Azure identity credentials instead of an API key for document translation?▼

Yes, Azure document translation supports flexible authentication patterns using either an API key or Azure identity credentials. You instantiate clients from @azure-rest/ai-translation-document to handle batch document translation workflows securely.

Does this approach support batch document translation in Node.js?▼

Yes, batch document translation is fully supported in Node.js and TypeScript environments. The SDK uses @azure-rest/ai-translation-document to automate document workflows and translate content across languages at scale.

What's the best way to add language detection to a multilingual TypeScript app?▼

The best way to add language detection is using the @azure-rest/ai-translation-text SDK client surface in your TypeScript app. It provides ready-to-use language detection alongside text translation for content localization.

Do I need both text and document translation SDKs for automated content localization?▼

You need @azure-rest/ai-translation-text for text translation and @azure-rest/ai-translation-document for batch document translation. Together they provide complete coverage for multilingual apps and automated document workflows in TypeScript.

Can I transliterate text across different scripts with Azure translation REST APIs?▼

Yes, transliteration across different scripts is supported through the @azure-rest/ai-translation-text SDK. It handles transliteration alongside text translation and language detection within your TypeScript application.
