## **Parameters**


| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|

**Note:** The Bing Developer Center that used to issue these AppIDs is no longer available, and neither is the Windows Live ID sign-in it relied on. Microsoft now issues translator keys through a Translator resource in Azure — see the [Azure AI Translator documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/translator/).

**Note**: By default Bing has intentional throughput limit, which is there to protect the MT service. If you need a higher throughput limit for commercial use, send email to [mtlic@microsoft.com](mailto:mtlic@microsoft.com) and ask for the commercial use agreement.

## **Supported Languages**

See [Translator language support](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/translator/language-support) for the languages available for translation.
