Question about the Dynamic Dictionary feature of the Microsoft Translator API

166 views Asked by At

I am currently testing the Microsoft Translator API and its individual API functions. I have already read through the documentation on the Dynamic Dictionary feature (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/translator/dynamic-dictionary) but I am still unsure about its practical application. My interpretation is that it allows me to specify for an English word how it should be rendered in another language - and vice versa. Below is a sketch of my current interpretation: (https://i.stack.imgur.com/VGQcY.png) Am I correct in this assumption?

I have read the documentation completely and i don't understand how to specify that it is recognized that i have to replace the word from english to french now, and from english to spanish next time...). I have already implemented other features of the API, there the documentation was clearer.

The Dynamic Dictionary in the Microsoft Translator API allows you to customize translations for specific terms or phrases, not limited to English-to-French or English-to-Spanish. You define custom translations based on context, languages, or situations, ensuring precise translations for your specific needs. It's a valuable tool for maintaining consistency and accuracy in translations across various contexts and languages.
