Translate text using the Bing Translate API

Instruction

Translate your texts using Microsoft's Bing Translation services HTTP API http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff512419.aspx

The code is based on the one provided by Microsoft at the documentation, prepared for composer. In two lines, you can have a translation service working!

Before working with the code, get your Access Token, using your MSN account. More info: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh454950.aspx

Don't get confused with the clientID. It's not the Customer ID nor your account key. The clientID is the text (possibly your app name or some plain-language text) that you specified when registering your application. You can view your client id https://datamarket.azure.com/developer/applications

There is a free data tier of 2 million characters per month. Check https://datamarket.azure.com/account/datasets if you haven't used yet your monthly limit:

Installation

With Composer

The easiest way to install is via composer. Create the following composer.json file and run the php composer.phar install command to install it.

{
	...
    "require": {
        "gidkom/ms-translator": "dev-master"
    }
}

then the code


include "vendor/autoload.php";

$client_id = 'abc';
$client_secret = 'xyz';

$mt = new Gidkom\MsTranslator\MsTranslator($client_id, $client_secret);

//Translate to single language
$from  = 'en';
$to = 'fr';
return $mt->translate('Hello world', $to, $from);

// To auto detect language leave out the $from argument
return $mt->translate('Hello world', $to);


Translate to multiple languagues 
$from = 'en';
$to= ['fr', 'de'];
return $mt->multiTranslate('Hello world', $to, $from);
